How it works
- 01 Choose or drop the images you want to turn.
- 02 Pick 90° right, 180° or 90° left, and a mirror direction if you need one.
- 03 Optionally switch on “Lossless for JPEG” under More options.
- 04 Press Rotate or flip, then download the result.
About this tool
Photos taken with the phone held sideways, pages fed into a scanner upside down, screenshots that should be portrait: a quick turn fixes them. Choose 90° right, 180° or 90° left and Hushdesk rotates the pixels and saves the picture in its original format, with PNG staying lossless and JPEG keeping its quality level. Pictures that only look upright thanks to a hidden EXIF rotation tag can be straightened for good by choosing No rotation. For JPEG there is also a lossless mode that changes nothing but that tag. Everything runs on your device.
-
Fix sideways uploads
Photos that appear rotated on websites are saved with the rotation applied to the pixels, so every viewer shows them correctly.
-
Lossless JPEG option
Change only the EXIF orientation tag: the compressed image data stays bit-for-bit identical.
-
Batch rotation
Turn a whole stack of scans in one go and download them together as a ZIP.
Rotate, flip, or both
Rotation turns the picture around its center; a mirror flips it over. Most sideways photos need a 90° turn. Scans placed on the glass the wrong way usually need 180°. A selfie with reversed lettering needs a horizontal flip, which is easiest on the Flip image page.
Questions and answers
Why does my photo look fine on my phone but sideways on a website?
Phones often save the picture sideways and add an EXIF tag telling viewers to turn it. Some sites and apps ignore that tag. Run the photo through this tool with No rotation selected, and the correct orientation is written into the pixels.
What does the lossless JPEG option do?
It rewrites only the orientation tag, so no pixels are saved again and nothing is lost. The catch: a few older programs ignore the tag and would still show the old orientation.
Does rotating a JPEG make it look worse?
In the default mode the JPEG is saved again at its own quality level, and the change is invisible in practice. If you need bit-exact data, use the lossless option.
Can I rotate many photos at once?
Yes. Every selected image gets the same rotation, and the results can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
Do rotated photos pass through a server?
Never. The rotation is computed in your browser, and the only copy of the result is the file you download.
