Rotate & Flip Image

Turn images by 90° steps and mirror them horizontally or vertically. Some detail is discarded to fit the target format; how much depends on the format and your settings.

How to use it

1
Add your files
Rotate & Flip Image works with JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC and HEIF. Drop them in, browse for them, or paste from your clipboard.
2
Choose your options
Tune quality and rotation — or leave the defaults, which are sensible.
3
Run it and download
Press the button and save the result. Everything happens on your device, and nothing is uploaded.

Privacy, in plain words

Is it safe? Your image is not uploaded anywhere

What “uploaded” normally means. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website. That copy is what the word “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains.

What happens instead. This site does not do it. There is no server here that receives files, so your image is read, converted and handed back by the browser you are using right now. It never travels — so there is no copy to store, read, leak or hand over.

Check it yourself in ten seconds

Turn off your Wi-Fi after this page has loaded, then convert a file anyway. It still works, because everything needed is already on your device.

The longer explanation of how this works, and the full detail of what is and is not stored on the privacy page.

Why this matters more than it sounds

Photographs carry more than what is in the frame — most also carry the time, the device and often the GPS coordinates where they were taken. It matters more than it sounds, because of what images usually are:

Medical scans and photographs

X-rays, results, images of a condition

Photographs of children

family pictures that should stay in the family

Passport and visa photos

biometric-grade images of your face

Screenshots of private messages

conversations that included other people

A file that is never sent cannot be kept, leaked, subpoenaed or used to train anything. That is a property of how this works, not a promise about how carefully it is run.

Turning and mirroring

Rotating by ninety degrees or mirroring an image rearranges whole pixels rather than blending them, so the operation itself loses nothing — every pixel of the original survives in a new position. The file is re-encoded afterwards, which for a lossy format is where a small amount of quality goes.

A photograph that appears rotated in one program and upright in another usually has an orientation tag rather than rotated pixels. Rotating here writes the change into the pixels themselves, so every program agrees from then on.

Quarter turns only: Ninety, a hundred and eighty and two hundred and seventy. An arbitrary angle would leave empty corners and require resampling the whole image.
Mirroring is not rotation: A flip produces the mirror image — text in the picture reads backwards, which no amount of rotation would do.

Measured, not estimated

What this tool actually does to a file

Turning each photograph a quarter turn clockwise and saving it again as a JPEG.

It depends entirely on the content: across the samples the result ranged from 5% smaller to 1.3× larger, with a middle case about the same size.

Each row is one document, chosen because this tool behaves differently depending on what is inside the file.
Sample	In	Out	Change
Smooth gradientContinuous tone with no detail — the easiest thing to compress, and where banding shows first.	12.5 KB	14.1 KB	+13%
Hard-edged text and UIHigh-contrast edges. This is where JPEG's ringing artefacts appear and where PNG wins.	90.9 KB	88.2 KB	−3%
Film-like noiseRandom detail. Incompressible by design — the worst case for every lossy codec.	209 KB	199 KB	−5%
Flat colour blocksLarge areas of one colour — a logo or a chart. Lossless formats should crush this.	4.9 KB	6.3 KB	+30%
Soft alpha edgeA transparent gradient. JPEG cannot store it at all, which is the single most common reason a conversion surprises someone.	14.3 KB	14.3 KB	+0%

Produced by a stand-in encoder. Your browser's own encoder has no equivalent outside a browser, so this was measured with the same codec at the same quality from a different implementation. Expect the shape of the answer to hold and the exact bytes to differ.

Samples are generated from a fixed seed rather than taken from real photographs or documents, so the corpus is reproducible and carries no licensing question — and so the numbers predict the shape of your result rather than its exact size.

Rotate & Flip Image — questions

How does Rotate & Flip Image work?

Turn images by 90° steps and mirror them horizontally or vertically. Add your files above, adjust anything you want to change, and press the button. The result downloads straight to your device.

Is Rotate & Flip Image safe — are my files uploaded to a server?

No, nothing is uploaded. On most online tools, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website, where it is processed and then sent back. That copy is what "upload" means. This tool does not do it: your file is read and processed by the browser you are using right now, stays on this device the whole time, and is discarded when you close the tab. Turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads and it still works, which is the quickest way to confirm it.

Can I use this on confidential or personal documents?

Yes — that is the case it was built for. Because the file never leaves your device, a confidential document is no more exposed than it is sitting in your own folder: there is no transfer, no copy on anybody else's hardware, no retention period and no staff with access. Nothing about the file is logged either — not its name, not its size, not its contents.
