Image Rotator - Rotate Images by Any Angle Online for Free
Photos taken with smartphones and cameras often end up sideways or upside down due to orientation sensor metadata. Rotating fixes this so the image displays correctly everywhere.
Rotation Options
- 90 degrees clockwise - most common fix for portrait photos taken on iPhone/Android
- 180 degrees - flip upside-down photos
- 270 degrees clockwise (90 CCW) - alternative portrait fix
- Custom angle - straighten slightly tilted horizons (e.g., 2 degrees, -3 degrees)
Rotate vs EXIF Orientation
Many cameras write orientation metadata (EXIF) into photos. Some viewers respect it; others ignore it. Physically rotating the pixels (not just setting EXIF) ensures the image looks correct everywhere.
Quality Concerns
Rotating by 90/180/270 degrees is lossless - no quality is lost. Rotating by arbitrary angles requires resampling and may cause slight quality loss. For best results, use 90-degree increments when possible.
