Image Rotator
Rotate an image to any angle and export it as PNG or JPEG.
Select Asset for Alignment
Supports high-resolution JPG, PNG, and WEBP. Processing is 100% local to your device.
This tool spins an uploaded image to whatever angle you set with the slider and draws the result to a fresh canvas sized to fit the rotated picture. Use it to straighten a crooked photo a few degrees, tilt a graphic for effect, or turn a sideways scan the right way up. Everything happens in your browser, so the image never leaves your device.
Right angles versus arbitrary angles
Rotating by 90, 180 or 270 degrees just reorients the existing pixels onto a grid, so the picture stays pixel-clean. Any other angle forces the browser to resample — recompute every pixel between the old grid and the new one — which softens fine detail very slightly and, more visibly, leaves triangular gaps in the corners because a tilted rectangle no longer fills an upright frame.
Why the export format changes those corners
Choose PNG when you rotate by an odd angle: PNG keeps an alpha channel, so the corner gaps stay transparent and blend into any background. JPEG has no transparency, so those same corners are filled with a solid colour instead — fine for a straight 90° turn that leaves no gaps, but it will box in an angled photo. As a rule: right-angle turn, either format; odd angle you want to place over something, PNG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there empty corners after I rotate?
A tilted rectangle cannot fill an upright frame, so the corners are left over. Export as PNG to keep them transparent; JPEG fills them with a solid colour.
Does rotating lower the quality?
Turns of 90, 180 or 270 degrees are pixel-clean. Any other angle resamples the image, which softens fine detail a little. Rotating repeatedly compounds that, so set the angle once from the original.
Should I pick PNG or JPEG?
PNG for odd angles or when you need the transparent corners; JPEG is smaller for photos and fine when you rotate by a right angle that leaves no gaps.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. It is rotated on a canvas in your browser and the download is generated locally.
