How this tool works

Enter an angle

Use 90, 180, or 270 for quarter turns, or any value to straighten. The angle is validated and normalised to 0–360.

Expand or crop

Expand-to-fit keeps the whole rotated image; keep-original-size crops it back to the starting dimensions.

Corner background

Exposed corners are filled with your background color, or left transparent for PNG and WebP.

Read the result panel

It shows the rotation angle, the canvas mode, and the final dimensions.

Rotate Image in your browser

Rotate Image turns an image by any angle in your browser. Use 90, 180, or 270 for quarter turns, or enter a custom angle to straighten a crooked photo. The angle is validated and normalised to the 0–360 range.

You choose how the canvas behaves: expand to fit means the whole rotated image is kept and the canvas grows, while keep original size crops the rotated image back to the starting dimensions. Either way, exposed corners are filled with your chosen background, or left transparent for PNG/WebP.

Output can stay the same format as the input or convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP, and the result panel shows the rotation angle, the canvas mode, and the final dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server by Rotate Image?

No. The rotation is performed in your browser with the HTML canvas, and your image is never uploaded to imgtoolsbase or any server.

Can I rotate without changing the canvas size?

Yes. Choose “keep the original canvas size” and the rotated image is cropped back to the starting dimensions; choose “expand to fit” to keep the whole rotated image on a larger canvas.

Can I rotate by a custom angle to straighten a photo?

Yes. Enter any angle, such as 3 or -2 degrees, to straighten a tilted photo. The angle is normalised to 0–360 and validated.

What fills the corners after rotating?

When you expand to fit, the new corners are filled with your background color, or left transparent if you output PNG or WebP.

Which output formats are available?

Keep the same format as the input or convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP. The result panel shows the angle, canvas mode, and final size.
