Built for anyone who works with images
Whether you are fixing a sideways photo from your phone, correcting a scanned document, or preparing assets for social media — PixelTools rotates and flips your images in seconds.
Fix sideways photos
Phone cameras sometimes save photos in the wrong orientation. Rotate them upright without re-uploading to any service.
Correct scanned documents
Scanned pages often come out rotated or skewed. Quickly rotate 90° or 180° to get them right-side up before sharing.
Prepare slides and thumbnails
Need a portrait image in landscape or vice versa? Rotate and flip to match the orientation your presentation or video requires.
E-commerce product photos
Product photos taken at odd angles can be fixed instantly. Flip horizontally to get a mirrored variant without reshooting.
Social media content
Different platforms favour different orientations. Rotate once and export in the format each platform needs.
Frequently asked questions
Is this rotate image tool free?
+
Yes, completely free with no limits. Rotate or flip as many images as you want. No subscription, no account, no trial required.
Does rotating an image reduce quality?
+
No. PixelTools renders the rotated image at full resolution using the Canvas API. When you export as PNG you get a lossless result with zero quality loss. JPG export uses 92% quality for virtually undetectable compression.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
+
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device — no server upload, no cloud processing, no data stored anywhere.
Can I rotate by custom angles (e.g., 45°)?
+
The tool currently supports 90° increments (90°, 180°, 270°) which covers the most common use cases — fixing a sideways or upside-down photo. For arbitrary angle rotation, the crop tool's upcoming rotate feature will cover that.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?
+
Rotating turns the image by 90°, 180°, or 270° — changing which edge is the top. Flipping (also called mirroring) creates a mirror image: horizontal flip swaps left and right, vertical flip swaps top and bottom. You can combine both — for example, rotate 90° then flip horizontally.
What image formats are supported?
+
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos). You can export the result as PNG (lossless), JPG, or WebP.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
+
Yes. PixelTools works in any modern browser including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. No app download required.
Can I combine rotate and flip in one step?
+
Yes. Apply any rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) and any flip (horizontal, vertical, or both) — then click Apply to render the combined transformation in a single pass. No quality loss from chaining operations.
