Flip and rotate
Turn the picture a quarter at a time, or flip it left-to-right or top-to-bottom. What you see is what you download.
A phone photo often carries an orientation tag that says which way up it should be. This reads that first and bakes it in, so the file is upright everywhere rather than relying on the viewer to honour a tag.

JPG, PNG and WebP. It stays on your device.
Questions
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. Each file is read from your disk, worked on inside the browser tab, and saved back to your disk. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and there is no server here that could receive a photo. Open your browser's network tab and run a batch: no request carries an image.
- Can I do a whole folder at once?
- Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they are handled one after another, with the finished set offered as a single ZIP. They go one at a time on purpose, because decoding twenty large photos simultaneously is how a phone browser runs out of memory and kills the tab.
- My photo looks sideways everywhere but on my phone. Why?
- The camera stored it in its original orientation and added a tag saying to turn it. Some apps honour that tag and some ignore it, which is why the same file looks right in one place and wrong in another. This tool reads the tag, turns the picture for real, and writes it out with no tag, so it looks the same everywhere.
- Does turning it lose quality?
- A 90-degree turn or a mirror is lossless in principle, but the file is re-encoded on the way out, so a JPG is compressed again. The quality slider controls that. Save as PNG to avoid it entirely.
- Can I straighten a photo by a few degrees?
- Not here. This does quarter turns and mirrors, which is what fixes a sideways phone photo. A small tilt correction needs cropping the corners off, which is a different job.
- What formats does it read?
- JPG, PNG and WebP. Orientation tags come from cameras and so turn up in JPGs; the others are shown as they are.
