Flip it. Rotate it. Save it.
Mirror a selfie so the text reads right. Turn a sideways photo upright. Nudge a tilted scan back to level. Save as transparent PNG or paper-backed JPG. Nothing uploads — your photo stays on your device. For real projects, grab a proper app.

Six everyday flip-and-rotate moments
- 01 for sideways photos
The phone-rotated-wrong fix
EXIF orientation is meant to keep photos upright, but old scanners, screenshot apps, and some uploads strip it. End up with a sideways landscape? One 90° turn here, download, problem fixed.
- 02 for selfies
Un-mirror a front-camera shot
Front-camera selfies show you mirrored — fine while you're shooting, weird when text in the background reads backwards. Hit horizontal flip and your shirt logo, the storefront sign, the book cover all read correctly again.
- 03 for transfers
Reverse a design before iron-on
Iron-on transfers, T-shirt prints, and window decals print mirrored so they read correctly through the material. Pick up your design, hit horizontal flip, send to print. Reads perfectly once it's pressed.
- 04 for scans
Straighten a crooked scan
Old family photos always come off the scanner a few degrees off. The fine-angle slider lets you nudge -2° or +3° until horizons sit level. No more scrapbook spread that looks like the room is tilting.
- 05 for collages
A jaunty tilt for a paper feel
Real polaroids and printed photos in a journal sit at jaunty angles. Drop a photo here, set the fine angle to -4°, save with a paper background — instantly looks pasted in by hand instead of dropped in flat.
- 06 for documents
Flip a scanned document right-side up
Loaded a PDF backwards into the scanner? Snapshot of a page that came out upside-down? Two 90° turns and you're back to readable. Beats reshooting in mediocre kitchen light.
Frequently asked
Does the photo upload anywhere? +
No. The flip and rotate work on a canvas element in your browser. Your photo never touches our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all. Open DevTools → Network and watch: nothing leaves your device.
Are 90° turns lossless? +
Yes. 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations re-arrange pixels without re-sampling — the image data is identical, just rotated. The fine-angle slider does re-sample (because pixels don't align to non-90° angles), so a tiny amount of softness can creep in there.
What's the difference between flip and rotate? +
Flip mirrors the image — left and right swap, or top and bottom swap. Rotate spins the image around its center. Selfies usually need flip; sideways photos need rotate. Both at once is fine.
Why does the canvas get bigger when I rotate? +
When you rotate at any angle other than 90°, the corners of the original image stick out further than the original bounds. The tool grows the canvas to fit the whole rotated image — that's why you'll see paper / white / transparent in the corners.
PNG or JPG? +
PNG keeps the corners transparent — the right pick if you'll layer the rotated photo onto a different background. JPG bakes whatever background color you picked in. Pick PNG for collage layouts; pick JPG for everything else.
Can I crop after rotating? +
Not in this tool — it's intentionally minimal. For a crop step, save the rotated PNG and run it through a crop tool, or jump straight to a real editor.
