Flip & Rotate Image

About Flip & Rotate Image

Photos shot on phones regularly display sideways because orientation lives in metadata that many apps ignore. Rotating the actual pixels — not just the metadata flag — fixes the photo everywhere, permanently.

This tool rotates in 90° steps and flips horizontally or vertically. Flipping is the fix for mirrored selfies and scanned film, and rotation is baked into the image data so no viewer can get it wrong again.
