Rotate 180° (Upside Down)
Turn a photo completely upside down in one tap. The top becomes the bottom and the left edge becomes the right - useful for fixing inverted scans or creative compositions.

When to use it
- Document scans that came out inverted because the page was placed the wrong way

- Reflection / surreal compositions where the subject needs to appear flipped
- Old scanned slides or negatives that loaded inverted
- Memes and creative posts where 180° creates a deliberate visual flip
Frequently asked questions
- Does this upload my photo to a server?
- No. The transform runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image data never leaves your device, so the tool works offline once the page is loaded and there's no privacy risk.
- 180° rotation vs flip - aren't they the same?
- Visually similar but mathematically distinct. A 180° rotation spins the image around its center, swapping both axes. A horizontal flip mirrors only left-to-right, a vertical flip only top-to-bottom. 180° rotation = horizontal flip + vertical flip combined.
- Will the dimensions of my photo change?
- No. A 180° rotation keeps the same width and height as the source - unlike 90° or 270° rotations which swap them. The file size stays effectively identical too.
- Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle (e.g. 45°)?
- This tool handles 90°, 180°, and 270° because they're lossless pixel operations. For arbitrary angles (which require interpolation and add transparent corners), use our AI editor's rotate-and-fill mode.
- Is 180° rotation lossless?
- Yes. Every pixel keeps its exact value - we just rearrange where they sit. JPG re-encoding can introduce tiny compression artefacts, but the rotation itself loses zero quality.
- Is there a file size limit?
- Yes - 40 MB per image. Most phone photos are well under this limit. If your file is larger, compress it first with our compress tool.

Rotate 90° Clockwise
Drop a photo and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise instantly. Everything happens in your browser - your image never touches our servers.
Rotate 90° Counterclockwise
Spin your photo a quarter turn to the left. The right edge moves to the top - perfect for re-orienting portrait shots that came in landscape.
Flip Vertically
Mirror your photo through the horizontal axis - top moves to bottom, but left and right stay in place. Different from a 180° rotation, useful for reflections.
Flip Horizontally (Mirror)
Mirror your photo left-to-right instantly. Useful for selfies, design layouts, and undoing front-camera mirroring. 100% browser-side.
