Why Photos Come Out Rotated

Digital cameras and smartphones save rotation information in EXIF metadata rather than physically rotating the pixels. The camera notes the orientation and stores it as a metadata tag. When you view the image in software that reads EXIF data, it appears correctly oriented. When you upload to a service that strips or ignores EXIF data, the image appears rotated 90 degrees. Physically rotating the pixels (what this tool does) bakes the correct orientation into the image data regardless of EXIF metadata. After rotation, the image displays correctly everywhere, including services that ignore EXIF. Flipping (mirroring) an image horizontally creates a mirror image - needed for text in backgrounds, selfies that appear laterally reversed, and decorative mirror-image effects. Rotating a portrait image 90 degrees swaps the pixel dimensions: a 1080x1920 portrait becomes 1920x1080.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your image onto the tool, then click the Rotate 90° Right or Rotate 90° Left button. The preview updates instantly. You can rotate multiple times to reach 180° or 270°. Click Download when satisfied with the result.
Drop your image and click the Flip Horizontal button. This creates a mirror image where left and right are reversed. Click Flip Horizontal again to undo and return to the original orientation.
Photos are often saved sideways because the camera orientation sensor (EXIF data) tells apps how to display them, but some software ignores this. Use Rotate 90° to fix the orientation, then download the corrected file.
Drop the photo into this tool and use the rotation buttons to correct the orientation. One or two clicks of Rotate 90° Right usually fixes a sideways photo. Download the corrected version and it will display correctly everywhere.
Use the Flip Horizontal button to create a horizontal mirror where left and right are swapped. Use Flip Vertical to create a vertical mirror where top and bottom are swapped. You can combine flips with rotation for any orientation.
