Frequently Asked Questions
Will rotating an image reduce its quality?
Rotating images by 90°, 180°, or 270° does not reduce quality because these are lossless operations - pixels are simply rearranged without compression. Our tool uses high-quality algorithms to maintain image quality during all rotation operations.
What's the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotating turns an image around its center point (90°, 180°, 270°), while flipping creates a mirror image. Flip horizontal reverses left and right sides, creating a mirror effect. Flip vertical reverses top and bottom. Flipping horizontal twice returns to original, while rotating 90° four times completes a full circle back to the original orientation.
Why do my photos have the wrong orientation?
Cameras and phones store orientation information in EXIF metadata rather than actually rotating pixels. Some programs ignore this metadata and display images in their raw orientation. Our tool physically rotates the pixels, ensuring your images display correctly on all devices and platforms, regardless of EXIF support.
