Detailed User Guide

Step 1: Upload Your Image

Click anywhere in the upload area or drag and drop an image file. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. The image loads instantly and appears in the preview canvas. No data is sent to any server — everything stays in your browser.

Step 2: Choose Your Transformation

You have several options for transforming your image:

Quick Rotate: Click "90° Left" or "90° Right" for common quarter-turn rotations. Use "180°" to flip the image upside down. These are the most common rotations for fixing photos taken in the wrong orientation.
Custom Angle: Drag the angle slider from 0° to 360° for precise rotation at any angle. The current angle is displayed below the slider. Great for straightening tilted photos or creative effects.
Flip: "Horizontal" creates a mirror image (left-right flip). "Vertical" flips the image top-to-bottom. These are perfect for creating reflections, mirror effects, or correcting scanned documents.

Step 3: Fine-Tune the Result

The preview updates in real-time so you can see exactly how your image will look. When rotating by custom angles, the canvas expands to fit the entire image. You can choose a background color to fill the new corners that appear after rotation. Set it to white for printing, black for dark themes, or use the color picker to match any background.

Step 4: Download

When you're happy with the result, choose your output format (PNG for quality, JPG for smaller files, WebP for modern use) and click "Download". The file saves to your device immediately — no watermarks, no quality loss, no server uploads.

Best Use Cases

Fix photo orientation — Rotate sideways or upside-down photos from your camera roll
Straighten tilted photos — Use the custom angle slider to fine-tune the horizon line
Mirror selfies — Flip horizontally to create a true mirror reflection
Creative compositions — Rotate at unusual angles for artistic effects

Pro Tips

For quick orientation fixes, use the 90° buttons — they're faster than the slider
When rotating by custom angles, choose a background color that matches your target background
PNG format preserves transparency — if your image has a transparent background, use PNG
You can combine rotation and flipping — rotate first, then flip for unique effects
Use "Reset" to go back to the original orientation without re-uploading
For straightening photos, try small angles (1-5°) and watch the preview closely

Frequently Asked Questions

90° and 180° rotations are lossless — pixels are simply rearranged. Custom angle rotations use high-quality bicubic interpolation, which may introduce very slight softening at extreme angles. For most purposes, the quality is excellent.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. There is no server that receives or stores your files.

For 90° and 270° rotations, the canvas width and height swap to fit the rotated image perfectly. For custom angles, the canvas expands to contain the entire rotated image, and the background color fills any new space.

Yes. Set your rotation angle first, then click a flip button. The flip applies on top of the current rotation. Both transformations are combined in the final output.

Rotating 180° turns the image upside down (top becomes bottom, left becomes right). Flipping vertically only mirrors top-to-bottom (left stays left). They produce different results unless the image is perfectly symmetrical.

You can upload a GIF, but only the first frame will be rotated. The output will be a static image (PNG, JPG, or WebP), not an animated GIF. For animated GIF rotation, a specialized tool is needed.

There's no artificial limit, but very large images (over 50 megapixels) may be slow to process in the browser. Most photos from phones and cameras work instantly.
