    How to rotate an image 90 degrees

    1. Choose the sideways photo, or try the sample.
    2. A 90° clockwise rotation is already selected. Pick 180° or 90° counterclockwise if that matches better.
    3. Process and download the upright copy.

    Know before you export

    Still JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF inputs up to 64 megapixels are supported, and HEIC where the browser can decode it. Photos above 24 megapixels or 8,192 pixels per side are edited at that size. Color, filter and color-removal effects run at up to 12 megapixels; larger photos are scaled for the effect. All processing stays in your browser.

    Supported files

    Rotate 90°: common questions

    Why are my photos sideways on some websites?

    Cameras often store photos sideways with an orientation tag. Some websites ignore the tag, so the photo appears rotated. Rotating the pixels fixes it everywhere.

    Do width and height change after rotating?

    Yes. A 90° rotation swaps them, so a 4000 × 3000 photo becomes 3000 × 4000. A 180° rotation keeps the original dimensions.
