Rotating PNG images

PNG is the format for logos, icons, screenshots, and anything with a transparent background. This tool rotates a PNG in 90° steps, flips it, or straightens it, and saves it back as a PNG with full transparency preserved — including the new corners that open up when you rotate by an arbitrary angle.

PNG is lossless, so rotating and re-saving introduces no compression artefacts at all. A 90°, 180°, or 270° turn is a pure pixel rearrangement — the result is pixel-for-pixel perfect.

How to rotate a PNG

  1. Open your PNG. Drag it onto the tool, choose a file, or paste it.
  2. Rotate or flip. Use the 90° buttons, flip buttons, or angle slider. Transparent areas stay transparent.
  3. Keep PNG and download. The output is set to PNG, so transparency is preserved. Click Download.

Transparency stays transparent

When you straighten a PNG by a fine angle, the corners that open up are kept transparent by default — perfect for placing the image on any background. If you'd rather fill them, switch the background to a colour.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating a PNG keep transparency?

Yes. The output stays PNG and all transparent areas — including new corners from an angled rotation — are preserved.

Is rotating a PNG lossless?

Yes. PNG is a lossless format, and quarter-turn rotations rearrange pixels without resampling, so there's no quality loss.

Can I straighten a tilted PNG?

Yes. Use the angle slider; the canvas auto-grows and the new corners stay transparent unless you choose a fill colour.

Where is my image processed?

The rotation happens in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
