About the Rotate & Flip Image
Tezmy's Rotate & Flip Image tool fixes sideways photos and creates mirror images in a click. Rotate 90° left or right as many times as you like, and flip horizontally (like a mirror, handy for selfies with backwards text) or vertically. The preview updates instantly, and the downloaded image keeps full resolution in its original format. It all happens in your browser, so your photos stay private.

Rotate or flip: what's the difference?
- Rotate turns the whole picture 90° at a time, to fix photos taken sideways.
- Flip horizontal makes a mirror image, left to right. Handy for selfies where text looks backwards.
- Flip vertical turns the image upside down like a reflection in water.
Why photos come out sideways
Phones save which way up you held them as a hidden note in the photo. Some websites, older programs and printers ignore that note, so the photo shows sideways. Rotating it here saves the picture the right way up, so it looks correct everywhere.
Next steps after rotating
Trim the edges with Crop Image, set an exact size with Image Resizer, or shrink the file for uploads with Compress Image. The rotated image keeps its full resolution and format.
Rotate photos without losing quality
Turning a photo by 90° simply moves the pixels into a new position, so the rotated picture keeps its full resolution and looks just as sharp. It's saved in the same format as the original. If the photo is a little crooked rather than sideways, crop the edges with Crop Image after rotating for a tidy result.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my photo sideways?
Phones save a hidden rotation note with photos, and some apps and websites ignore it. Rotating and downloading here saves the image the right way up for good.
How do I mirror a selfie?
Click Flip horizontal. Text that looked backwards in the selfie will read correctly.
Does rotating reduce quality?
Rotating by 90° steps doesn't lose any pixels. JPG files are saved again at high quality, so the difference isn't visible.
Can I rotate by any angle, like 45°?
Not yet. This tool rotates in 90° steps, which covers fixing sideways and upside-down photos.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
How do I rotate a picture on my phone?
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, select the photo, tap rotate until it's right and download it.
Can I flip text in an image so it reads correctly?
Yes. If a selfie shows mirrored writing, flip it horizontally and the text will read normally.
Can I rotate several images at once?
This tool works on one image at a time so you can check each one.
Does it work with PNG and WebP images?
Yes. JPG, PNG, WebP and most other images your browser can open can be rotated and flipped.
Why does my photo look fine on my phone but sideways on my computer?
Your phone reads a hidden rotation note in the photo, but some programs ignore it. Rotating it here saves the picture itself the right way up, so it looks correct everywhere.
