What does the Image Rotator do?
Quick buttons rotate by 90° left, 90° right or 180° without any quality loss beyond normal re-saving. For crooked scans or horizons, enter a custom angle such as 2.5 degrees; the canvas expands to fit the rotated image so nothing is cut off.
Custom angles leave empty corners, which can be transparent (saved as PNG) or filled with a colour of your choice.
How to use the Image Rotator
- Choose an image.
- Click a rotate button, or type a custom angle.
- For custom angles, choose transparent or coloured corners.
- Download the rotated image.
Examples

Frequently asked questions
Does rotating reduce quality?
90° steps keep pixels intact; custom angles resample slightly.
Why is my photo sideways in some apps?
Phones may store rotation in EXIF metadata, which some apps ignore. Rotating here bakes the orientation into the pixels.
Can I rotate counter-clockwise?
Yes — use “Rotate left” or a negative angle.
