Rotate JPG

Turn sideways photos the right way up

Phones record which way you were holding them, but that orientation tag does not always survive a download, an upload or a trip through another app, so a perfectly good photo suddenly appears lying on its side. Rotating fixes it for good by actually redrawing the pixels, not just flagging them, so the image looks correct everywhere you open it.

Spin the photo 90 degrees at a time until it is upright, and download the corrected JPEG. It all happens in your browser, with no upload and no quality-destroying round trip through a server.

How to rotate a JPG

1. Drop your JPG into the box above, or click to choose it.
2. Use the rotate buttons to turn the image 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
3. Check the preview until the photo sits the right way up.
4. Click Download JPG to save the corrected image.

Why rotate a JPG here?

A permanent fix, not a tag

The rotation is baked into the pixels, so the image displays correctly in every app, browser and printout rather than depending on orientation metadata.

Rotate and flip in one place

Beyond quarter turns you can also mirror the image, which is handy for correcting scans or reversed selfies.

No upload required

Your photo is rotated on your own device, so private pictures never leave your computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my photos show up sideways?

Cameras store the orientation as a hidden tag. When an app ignores that tag, the raw image appears rotated. Redrawing the pixels here removes the ambiguity.

Does rotating a JPG lower its quality?

A 90, 180 or 270 degree turn simply rearranges the existing pixels, so any change from re-saving the JPEG is negligible at a high quality setting.

Can I flip the image too?

Yes. The same tool includes horizontal and vertical mirror controls alongside the rotation buttons.

Can I fix several photos?

Yes. Add multiple JPGs, rotate them, and download the set together.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser, keeping your images private.
