How to Flip and Rotate Images — Quick Orientation Fixes
Fix upside-down or mirrored images with rotation and flip tools. Straighten horizons and fix selfie mirrors.
Rotation vs Flipping
Rotation turns the image by a specific angle (90, 180, or 270 degrees, or a custom angle).
Flipping creates a mirror image — either horizontally (left becomes right) or vertically (top becomes bottom).
Common Use Cases
Rotation
- Photos taken with the phone held sideways
- Scanned documents that are upside down
- Straightening a slightly tilted horizon
Horizontal Flip
- Selfies (to see yourself as others see you)
- Design layouts that need to face the other direction
- Creating mirror-image pairs
Vertical Flip
- Scanned documents placed upside down
- Creating reflections for design effects
How to Rotate Images
- Upload your image
- Choose the rotation angle (90 CW, 180, or 90 CCW)
- For custom angles, use the slider or type the exact degrees
- Download the rotated image
How to Flip Images
- Upload your image
- Choose Horizontal Flip or Vertical Flip
- Preview the result
- Download
Tips
- Rotation by 90/180/270 degrees is lossless — no quality loss
- Custom angle rotation may slightly reduce quality due to interpolation
- Flipping is always lossless
- Many phones embed orientation data in EXIF — some tools auto-correct this
