Image Flip & Rotate Tool

Flip mirrors the image. Horizontal flip reverses left and right, like looking in a mirror. Vertical flip reverses top and bottom. Rotate turns the image around its center point. You can combine both, flips are applied first, then rotation, so the result matches what you see in Photoshop.

Rotating at an angle can resample pixels and slightly change fine detail. PNG uses lossless encoding for the edited result, but it cannot undo changes from rotating or resizing. JPEG and WebP use lossy compression; the quality setting controls the export.

Enable Transparent background and choose PNG or WebP as export format. When you rotate by an angle that is not a multiple of 90°, the canvas needs to grow and leaves empty corners. In transparent mode those corners are alpha. If you export as JPEG, transparency is not supported and the tool will fill corners with your chosen background color.

Input supports PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, GIF (first frame), AVIF, and BMP up to 50 MB. Output can be PNG, JPEG, or WebP regardless of input. Original keeps the source MIME when possible. Very large images above 8000px may be slower because the browser must allocate a larger canvas for the expanded bounding box.

No, EXIF orientation tags are not preserved on purpose. The tool bakes the visual orientation into actual pixels, so the exported image displays correctly everywhere without relying on EXIF. If your camera wrote a rotated photo with an orientation flag, loading it will show it as decoded by the browser, and your rotation will be applied on top of that visual result.

Expand to fit grows the canvas to contain the full rotated image using the bounding box formula, so nothing is clipped. Keep original size maintains the source width and height, so corners of a rotated image may be cut off. Crop center is similar to Keep but guarantees center alignment, useful when you want a consistent size for a batch.

Yes. The tool is fully client-side and touch-friendly. You can pick an image from your camera roll, use the -90° / +90° / 180° buttons, drag the angle slider, and download. Copy image may fall back to downloading on iOS Safari because programmatic image clipboard access is restricted.

Visually, flipping horizontally and vertically at the same time produces the same result as rotating 180° for most photos, but they are technically different operations. Flip both mirrors on two axes, while rotate 180° turns the image. If your image has no transparency or text, they look identical. The tool treats them as separate transforms so your filename and history remain accurate.
