This image rotator turns an image to any angle you need, directly in your browser. Drop in a PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, or BMP file and use the quick buttons to rotate in 90° steps, or fine-tune by single degrees to straighten a crooked horizon. The canvas is resized automatically to the rotated bounding box, so corners are never clipped the way they are when an image is simply spun inside its original frame. Rotating by an angle that isn't a multiple of 90° exposes triangular corners around the image; you can leave those transparent when exporting to PNG or WebP, or fill them with a colour of your choice. Because JPEG cannot store transparency, the tool flattens those corners onto your chosen background automatically when you export as JPEG, so you never end up with unexpected black edges. The preview updates instantly as you adjust the angle, and you can export as PNG for lossless output, or JPEG and WebP with a quality slider. Everything runs locally with the browser canvas, so your image is never uploaded. Upload an image below to start rotating.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate an image 90 degrees?
Upload the image and use the quick rotate buttons to turn it in 90° steps, clockwise or anticlockwise. The canvas is resized to match, so a portrait image becomes landscape without any cropping.
Can I rotate by a custom angle?
Yes. Beyond the 90° steps you can adjust the angle a single degree at a time, which is what you want for straightening a slightly crooked photo.
Why does my rotated image have corners around it?
Rotating by an angle that isn't a multiple of 90° leaves triangular gaps at the corners of the new bounding box. You can keep those transparent by exporting to PNG or WebP, or fill them with a background colour.
Does rotating an image lose quality?
Right-angle rotations are lossless in terms of pixel data. Other angles resample the image, which softens it very slightly. Exporting as PNG avoids any additional compression loss.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Rotation is performed locally in your browser with the canvas API, so the image never leaves your device.
What happens to transparency when I export as JPEG?
JPEG cannot store transparency, so the tool flattens transparent areas and rotated corners onto your selected background colour automatically. Choose PNG or WebP if you need to keep transparency.
