Image Rotate, Straighten & FlipRotate one photo or a whole batch by fixed 90-degree turns or any free angle, with a straighten slider and an auto-expanding canvas that keeps every pixel. EXIF orientation is corrected the moment a file loads, you can flip, optionally auto-crop the blank corners a tilt leaves behind, and control JPEG quality. Everything runs on an HTML canvas in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.

What is Image Rotate, Straighten & Flip?

The deftdeck Image Rotate, Straighten & Flip tool is a free online image rotator that turns photos and graphics by a quarter, half, or three-quarter turn or by any free angle, mirrors them horizontally or vertically, and can rotate many images at once, right in your browser. Use the 0/90/180/270 buttons for square turns or the Straighten slider (−45° to +45°) to level a crooked horizon, and the canvas auto-expands so nothing is clipped. Orientation from a phone's EXIF tag is applied the moment a file loads, and you can auto-crop the empty triangles a tilt adds, choose PNG or JPEG output, and set JPEG quality. Drop several files to batch-rotate them and download the whole set as a ZIP, or grab each result on its own.

How to use Image Rotate, Straighten & Flip

  1. Drag and drop one or more images onto the dropzone, or click it to pick files (PNG, JPEG, WebP, or any image your browser can open) from your device.
  2. Pick a 90-degree turn: 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise.
  3. Fine-tune with the Straighten slider from −45° to +45° for a free angle; the canvas expands automatically so no pixels are cut off.
  4. Open Settings to flip horizontally or vertically, auto-crop the blank corners a tilt leaves, choose PNG or JPEG, and set JPEG quality.
  5. Watch every result update automatically, and click any before or after thumbnail to open the zoom lightbox.
  6. Download a single image, or download all rotated images at once as a ZIP.

Examples

Level a crooked horizon

Load a landscape photo, drag the Straighten slider to about −2.5° until the sea line is level, leave auto-crop on to trim the blank corners, and download the straightened JPEG.

Fix a sideways phone photo

Drop a JPEG that came in rotated; EXIF orientation is applied on load, set Rotation to 270 degrees to stand it upright, and save the corrected photo.

Batch-rotate a folder of scans

Drop a dozen scans at once, set Rotation to 90 degrees, and download every rotated page together as a single ZIP file.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle, like 45 degrees?
Yes. Combine the 90-degree buttons with the Straighten slider (−45° to +45°) to reach any angle. The canvas auto-expands to hold the whole rotated image, and you can auto-crop the blank corners that a free angle leaves behind.
What is the Straighten slider for?
It applies a small free-angle rotation, ideal for leveling a tilted horizon or a crooked scan. Set it anywhere from −45° to +45°, and combined with a 90-degree turn it covers every orientation.
Does the tool fix photos that come in sideways?
Yes. EXIF orientation is read and baked into the pixels the moment an image loads, so photos shot in portrait no longer appear rotated. You can then apply any extra rotation on top.
Can I rotate several images at once?
Yes. Drop multiple files and they are all rotated with the same settings. Download each result on its own, or grab the whole batch as a single ZIP archive.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs 100% client-side in your browser using the HTML canvas. Your images are never uploaded to deftdeck or any server, and nothing leaves your device.
