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.
tool · beta · on-device
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.

when a flip earns its keep
Six everyday flip-and-rotate moments
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
in case you're wondering
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.
