Frequently asked questions

Will rotating reduce my image quality?

Rotating re-renders the pixels once, so there is a single re-encode step. For PNG output it is visually lossless; for JPG/WebP we export at high quality (92%), so any difference is invisible to the eye. Avoid rotating the same file dozens of times in a row.

Can I rotate an animated GIF and keep the animation?

No — the tool reads the first frame of a GIF and saves the rotated result as a PNG still. If you need to rotate an animated GIF, convert it to a video or rotate each frame in an editor first.

My phone photo already looks upright — why rotate it?

Phones store an EXIF orientation flag instead of physically rotating pixels. Browsers apply that flag automatically, so what you see here is the true orientation; if a photo still looks sideways, use this tool to fix it permanently.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit — but very large images (30+ megapixels) need enough device memory. On phones, extremely large panoramas may be slow; desktop browsers handle them easily.

Where are my images processed?

Entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server, which is also why the tool works offline once loaded.

Can I rotate just part of an image?

This tool rotates the whole image. To straighten one tilted element inside a photo, crop the area first, rotate it, and composite it back in a photo editor.

What is the difference between flip and rotate?

Rotate turns the image like a steering wheel; flip mirrors it like a reflection in a mirror. Flip horizontal is what fixes a selfie that came out backwards.
