Does my image get uploaded?

No. The rotation runs inside your browser on your own device — the image never leaves your computer and never reaches a server.

Is the rotation really lossless?

For JPG and PNG, yes — and this is rare. We measured one competitor directly: a single 90° turn through iLoveIMG came back re-encoded, with millions of pixel values changed, though their PNG came back intact. This tool rotates the JPG's compressed data directly (the same mathematics the classic jpegtran utility uses), so rotating four times by 90° gives you back the exact image you started with. PNG rotation moves pixels without touching their values.

What about WebP and AVIF?

Those formats have no lossless rotation path, so the tool rotates the pixels and re-encodes at top quality — and shows you the measured quality score of the delivered file, so nothing happens silently.

What happens to my photo's orientation tag?

If your photo carries a camera orientation tag (EXIF), it is folded into the same lossless rotation and then cleared — so every viewer, including ones that ignore the tag, shows the image exactly the way you rotated it.

Are there images that can't rotate losslessly?

A JPG whose width or height isn't a multiple of its compression block size can't be perfectly transformed — for those, the tool rotates the pixels and re-encodes at top quality, tells you it did, and shows the measured score. It never silently crops edge pixels, which is what the classic command-line tools do by default.

Rotate Image

Rotate a JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF in 90° steps without uploading it anywhere — the rotation runs in your browser. A JPG is turned inside its compressed data and never re-encoded; a PNG comes back pixel-identical. Either way nothing is lost, no matter how many times you turn it. No account, no email.

Rotating a JPG without losing quality

Most tools re-compress a photo every time you turn it. There is a way to rotate a JPG that changes nothing else at all — here is how it works and when it applies.
