Rotate Image
Rotate images by 90°, 180°, 270°, or a custom angle. Preserves transparency for PNG.
What is Rotate Image?
Rotating an image adjusts its orientation without altering pixel content — useful for correcting photos taken at an angle, fixing sideways scans, or creating artistic compositions. Unlike cropping or resizing, rotation preserves all image data; the canvas simply expands to accommodate the rotated dimensions. Our rotator supports 90-degree increments for quick fixes and any custom angle from 0 to 360 degrees for precise adjustments. PNG transparency is preserved, while JPEG outputs fill any new background areas with white.
How to Use
- 1Upload an image by dragging it onto the drop zone or clicking to browse.
- 2Choose a preset angle (90°, 180°, 270°) or drag the slider for a custom angle.
- 3Click "Rotate Image" to process.
- 4Download the rotated image.
Why Use This Tool
- ✓Fix sideways photos — correct images from cameras or phones that recorded the wrong orientation.
- ✓Artistic rotation — rotate at any custom angle for creative compositions and design work.
- ✓PNG transparency preserved — rotated PNGs keep their transparent backgrounds intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the image dimensions when I rotate by a non-90-degree angle?⌄
For angles that are not multiples of 90, the canvas expands to fit the entire rotated image, which means the output dimensions will be larger than the original. The background areas that are revealed by the rotation are filled with white for JPEG outputs or remain transparent for PNG outputs.
Does rotating an image reduce its quality?⌄
No. Rotation is a lossless geometric transformation — the pixel data is simply repositioned. However, if the output format is JPEG, the re-encoding step applies JPEG compression. For pixel-perfect results, use PNG output. Rotating by 90, 180, or 270 degrees involves no interpolation and is perfectly lossless.
Can I rotate multiple images at once?⌄
This tool processes one image at a time so you can adjust the angle individually. For batch rotation, process each image sequentially. Since everything runs locally in your browser, there is no upload wait between rotations.
Why does my rotated JPEG have white corners?⌄
When you rotate by an angle that is not a multiple of 90 degrees, the rectangular canvas expands to fit the rotated image, creating triangular areas at the corners that were not part of the original image. JPEG does not support transparency, so these areas are filled with white. Use PNG output to keep these areas transparent.
