What does the Flip & Rotate Image tool actually change?

It redraws your photo onto a canvas with a rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°) and an optional horizontal or vertical mirror applied, then lets you download the result as a new image file.

Does rotating an image with this tool crop or distort it?

No. Flip & Rotate Image swaps the canvas width and height for 90° and 270° rotations so the full photo fits without cropping or stretching.

Can I both flip and rotate a photo in one pass?

Yes. Click any combination of Rotate left, Rotate right, Flip horizontal, and Flip vertical before downloading — each click updates the same preview.

What image formats does the flip and rotate tool accept?

It accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP files, and downloads in the original format when your browser can re-encode it, otherwise it falls back to PNG.

Does Flip & Rotate Image upload my photos anywhere?

No. All rotation and flipping happens locally in your browser using a canvas. Your photos are never uploaded to ArrayKit or any server.

How do I undo a rotation or flip I did not mean to apply?

Click Reset to instantly return the image to its original orientation, then reapply only the changes you want.

About Flip & Rotate Image

Flip & Rotate Image turns and mirrors a photo without installing any software. Drop in a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP file, then use Rotate left, Rotate right, Flip horizontal, or Flip vertical to build up the transform you need, with a live preview updating after every click. The canvas automatically swaps width and height for 90° and 270° turns, so a 800×600 photo rotated a quarter turn comes out 600×800 with nothing cropped or stretched. Reset returns to the original orientation instantly. It is useful for straightening a sideways phone photo, mirroring a selfie before sharing, or preparing product shots that need a specific orientation. Rotation and flipping happen locally on your device, and the finished image downloads in its original format whenever the browser supports it.

Common errors & troubleshooting

The rotated image looks stretched or squashed. — Flip & Rotate Image swaps width and height for 90°/270° turns automatically, so if the aspect ratio looks off, check that the source file loaded fully before rotating.
Rotate left and rotate right seem to cancel out but the output changed. — Order matters when a flip is combined with a rotation. Use Reset and reapply the flip and rotation in the order you actually want.
Download saved as a PNG instead of the original JPEG. — Flip & Rotate Image keeps the original format when the browser supports re-encoding it; some browsers fall back to PNG for unusual source formats like BMP.
The mirrored image looks unchanged after Flip horizontal. — Symmetrical photos can look identical when mirrored — zoom into an asymmetric detail like text or a logo to confirm the flip applied.
