How rotate image works
Correct an image that faces the wrong way with a quarter turn or a half turn. Choose 90 degrees clockwise, 180 degrees or 270 degrees clockwise. The exported image has adjusted canvas dimensions where a quarter turn swaps width and height.
The browser rotates its drawing coordinate system and paints the image at the center of a new canvas. It then exports a separate file. This changes the actual pixels rather than relying on orientation metadata that some applications may ignore.
Steps
- Select a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Adjust the available controls for your task.
- Process and download the output. Keep the original as a backup.
Formats and limits
Rotation is exported as a new file, leaving the original untouched. Input decoding depends on your browser. Files are limited to 25 MB each and 40 megapixels to protect browser memory.
Privacy
The processing code runs locally in your browser. This tool does not upload the selected image to Do The IMG. Avoid sharing downloaded files if they contain sensitive content.
Common questions
Will a 90-degree rotation change dimensions?
Yes. Width and height swap after a quarter turn.\nIs this the same as changing EXIF orientation? | No. The pixels are redrawn in their new orientation.
