When to Rotate or Flip an Image

• Fix orientation: Photos taken sideways on a phone need rotating 90°
• Create mirror image: Flip horizontally for symmetrical designs
• Turn upside down: 180° rotation for puzzle or trick photos
• Design layout: Rotate an image to fit a landscape or portrait layout

EXIF Orientation Issue

Smartphones save rotation data in EXIF metadata instead of physically rotating the pixels. Many websites and apps don't read EXIF — so an image you took vertically may display sideways. Applying a physical rotation (removing EXIF) fixes this permanently.

Step-by-Step: Rotate/Flip Online

1. Open Rotate & Flip tool.
2. Upload your image.
3. Click rotate 90° clockwise, counterclockwise, or 180°.
4. Or click flip horizontal/vertical.
5. Download the corrected image.

Combining Operations

You can combine rotations and flips — for example, rotate 90° then flip horizontally. Apply operations in sequence until the image looks exactly right, then download the final result.
