About Image Rotator
The Image Rotator is a handy client-side tool to correct the orientation of your images. Photos taken on smartphones often display upside down or sideways due to mismatched EXIF metadata tags. Our rotator lets you rotate images 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise, and flip them horizontally or vertically, producing a corrected file that displays properly across all applications and devices.
How it Works
Drop your image file into the rotation card. Use the option buttons to rotate the image or apply horizontal and vertical flips. The interactive preview renders the rotation transformation instantly. Once the desired orientation is set, click "Apply & Generate Image". The script draws the rotated pixels onto a canvas and generates a downloadable file.
Key Features
- 90-Degree Rotations: Rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise easily.
- Horizontal/Vertical Flips: Mirror images with one click.
- Instant Previews: View the rotated image in the layout immediately.
- Safe & Confidential: All rendering happens locally in your browser.
Technical Details
The rotator uses CSS transforms for instant UI previews. When generating the file, it creates a canvas with transposed dimensions if the rotation is orthogonal (90° or 270°). It translates the canvas origin to the center (canvas.width/2, canvas.height/2), rotates the context by the target angle, scales the context to handle horizontal/vertical flips, draws the image offset to the center, and exports the data.
