Rotate Image
Rotate an image by any angle. Upload an image, drag the slider or use the quick 90° buttons, and download the result.

Pro Tips
- •Rotating by an angle other than a multiple of 90° expands the canvas so the whole rotated image fits without cropping
- •The added corners around a non-90° rotation are transparent, so they'll appear as empty space unless flattened onto a background
- •Use the quick 90° buttons for simple orientation fixes, and the slider for precise angle adjustments
- •The whole file is processed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the image size change after rotating?
Rotating by an angle other than 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° means the image's corners extend beyond its original rectangle. The canvas grows to fit the entire rotated image without cutting off any corners.
What fills the empty corners after rotation?
The newly added area around a rotated image is transparent. If you need a solid background, flatten the result onto a background color in an image editor, or add one first with the Add Border tool.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire process runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
What format is the output?
The result is downloaded as a PNG file, which preserves any transparency in the original image and the new transparent corners.
Does rotating reduce image quality?
Rotations at exact 90° multiples are lossless. Other angles require resampling pixels along the new diagonal edges, which can introduce slight softening at the rotated boundary.
