How to rotate or flip a photo
- 1. Add your image.
- 2. Tap Left/Right to rotate in 90° steps, or 180° to turn it upside down. Use Flip to mirror it.
- 3. Download the corrected image.
Sideways phone photos are usually caused by orientation metadata; rotating and re-saving here bakes in the correct orientation. You can then resize or compress it if needed.
Frequently asked questions
My phone photo shows sideways — can this fix it?
Yes. Rotate it 90° in the correct direction and download; the saved image will be upright everywhere.
What's the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotate turns the image around its center (90/180/270°). Flip mirrors it horizontally or vertically, like a reflection.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Rotating and flipping happen in your browser; your image never leaves your device.
How this tool helps
Phone orientation metadata can leave a photo sideways or mirrored in another app. Use the rotation buttons for 90-degree corrections and flip controls for mirrored scans or camera previews.
How to use it
- Add an image.
- Choose rotate or flip until the preview is correct.
- Download the corrected copy.
Example
Fix a landscape photo that appears vertical after being attached to a document.
What you get
The downloaded image has the visible orientation rendered into its pixels.
Good to know
Limitations: Rotation can change the output dimensions. It does not improve a low-resolution source.
Privacy: Orientation changes happen entirely in your browser.
How PixelTools makes this decision
PixelTools shows the settings and the result side by side so you can make an informed choice before downloading. File size is measured from the actual browser-generated output, while dimensions, format, and visual preview are kept visible because a smaller file is not automatically a better file. The original is never overwritten.
These tools are maintained as practical, browser-first utilities rather than upload forms. We document the trade-offs for each task, test the output in the browser, and link to related guides when a different format or workflow may be a better fit. For troubleshooting, see Help & Support; for the full data-handling explanation, read the Privacy Policy.
