Workflow & Usage
-
Upload one or many images
Drag and drop files into the tool or select them manually. -
Choose a global rotation
Set a default (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to apply to all images. -
Fine-tune individual images
Each image has its own rotation control.
Changing it overrides the global default for that file. -
Preview instantly
The tool rotates the preview on the fly and processes the actual image in a worker thread. -
Download your results
Save each rotated image individually or download everything as a ZIP file.
Use Cases
- Product photography: Standardize orientation for batches of images.
- Scanned documents: Rotate skewed pages or upside-down images.
- Web content creation: Prepare assets for articles, e-commerce, or social content.
- Photography workflows: Fix camera-wrong EXIF rotations by directly rotating pixels.
- UI/UX work: Rotate icons, illustrations, and UI elements quickly.
Tips for Best Results
- Upload all related images together to apply the same base rotation.
- Use per-image overrides when one file needs special treatment.
- The preview rotation is instant, but the exported image is processed in a worker—let it finish before downloading.
- Pair this tool with Image Flipper if you’re realigning a set of images for consistent visual layout.
How It Works
The Image Rotator is built entirely around native browser technology:
- Each image is decoded into an
ImageBitmap. - A worker uses OffscreenCanvas to rotate the bitmap by 90°, 180°, or 270°.
- The tool swaps width/height when needed and draws the pixels in their new orientation.
- The resulting image is exported in the same format as the original (PNG, JPG, WebP).
- All processing happens locally—no uploads, no tracking, no waiting on servers.
This makes the tool fast, private, and reliable for both batch work and one-off edits.
