# Rotate Image

ToolSugar rotates a photo by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and flips it horizontally or vertically, all in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Turn it left or right, preview the result, and save it in the same format as the original. Turning by 90 degrees swaps the width and the height.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Add a photo in JPG, PNG, WebP or another common format.
2. Use Rotate left 90 degrees, Rotate right 90 degrees or Rotate 180 degrees, and use the flip buttons to mirror it.
3. Check the preview. Reset puts the photo back the way it was.
4. Press Save image and download the result.

## Key facts

- **Rotation**: 90, 180 and 270 degrees, with no cropping or empty corners
- **Flip**: Horizontal and vertical, combined with any rotation
- **Output format**: Same as the photo you add
- **Where it runs**: In your browser, with no upload

## Common uses

- Straighten a photo that opens sideways.
- Mirror a selfie so text reads the right way round.
- Turn a landscape scan into a portrait page.

## Questions

### Can I rotate by an angle like 15 degrees?

No. This tool turns in steps of 90 degrees only, which keeps every pixel intact and leaves no empty corners. Free angles would need cropping or a background fill.

### Why does my photo look sideways on one device and fine on another?

Phones often store the picture unrotated and add an orientation tag. Programs that ignore the tag show it sideways. Rotating and saving here writes the turned pixels, so it looks the same everywhere.

### Does rotating lose quality?

Turning by 90 degrees only moves pixels, so a PNG stays identical. A JPG is encoded again after rotating, which adds a small amount of compression.
