Rotate or mirror the actual image pixels
Turn an image left or right in 90-degree steps, flip it horizontally, flip it vertically, or combine those changes. The preview shows the pending transform; the downloaded file contains the transformed pixels rather than relying on an orientation flag.
Useful distinctions
Horizontal flip creates a mirror image, which is useful for correcting mirrored camera output but will also reverse visible text. Vertical flip turns the image across a horizontal axis. A 90-degree rotation swaps output width and height.
Formats and output
The browser editor is designed for JPG, PNG and WebP and processes files locally. It preserves those recognized output types; other browser-decodable inputs fall back to JPG. JPG and WebP are re-encoded, so a repeat edit may change file size or introduce small quality differences.
Troubleshooting orientation
If the preview starts in an unexpected orientation, the browser may already be interpreting camera orientation metadata. Apply the visual correction you actually want and inspect the downloaded file. Use Image Cropper to remove edges, or Image Resizer when dimensions—not orientation—need changing.
