Rotate an Image of a Scan or Receipt

Scans and phone shots of documents often land upside down or on their side. Rotate the picture so pages read normally before you print, share or upload them.

Photo Rotate Before You Post

Social sites and marketplaces sometimes show an upload at the wrong angle. Rotate the photo first and it posts the way you shot it.

Why Photos Show Up Sideways

Phones often save the camera angle as an EXIF orientation tag instead of turning the pixels, and some apps ignore it. Rotating here turns the pixels themselves. If a photo still flips back, clear the tag with the EXIF Metadata Remover.

Rotate Image FAQs

How do I rotate a picture?

Upload it here, choose Clockwise or Counter Clockwise, click Rotate Image and download. It works the same for photos, screenshots and scans, in any browser.

How do I rotate a photo on iPhone or Android?

On iPhone, open the photo, tap Edit, tap the Crop icon and use the rotate button at the top. In Google Photos, tap Edit, then Crop, then Rotate. Or open this page in your phone's browser.

How do I rotate an image in Windows?

Right-click the image in File Explorer and choose Rotate right or Rotate left. In the Photos app, press Ctrl + R. Both turn the picture 90° at a time.

How do you rotate a picture on a Mac?

Open it in Preview and press Command + R to rotate right or Command + L to rotate left, then save the file.

Can I rotate an image by custom degrees?

This tool rotates in 90° steps, which fixes most sideways and upside-down photos. To straighten a slightly tilted horizon, use the straighten slider in your phone's photo editor.

Does rotating reduce image quality?

A 90° turn keeps every pixel and simply swaps width and height. Saving a JPG again can add a little compression, but it's rarely visible.

What's the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotating turns the whole picture around its center. Flipping mirrors it, so left and right swap. For a mirror image, use Flip Image.

Is it free to rotate photos online here?

Yes. It's free, with no signup and no software to install.
