What is the Image Rotator?

The free Image Rotator lets you rotate any image by common angles or a custom degree in your browser. Drop your image, then click ↺ 90° CCW, ↻ 90° CW, or ↕ 180° to apply standard rotations. For non-standard angles, enter any value from −360° to 360° in the custom input and click Apply. Rotations are cumulative — click multiple times to combine angles. A live preview updates after each rotation. Click Reset to return to the original orientation, or Download Rotated Image to save as PNG.
