Does my file get uploaded?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches this job. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)

Is Rotate an Image free to use?

Yes — tools on the open shelf are free to use.

What files does it accept?

It works with JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP and BMP images.

Why does my photo look right on my phone and sideways everywhere else?

Because your camera wrote the picture one way up and added a note saying which way is really up. Some apps read that note and some ignore it. This tool turns the pixels themselves, so there is no note left to disagree about.

Does it keep the camera information in my photo?

No. The result is written fresh, so the date, the camera model and any GPS location your phone recorded are left behind. The rotate tool reads the orientation tag to do its job correctly, and still discards it on the way out.

Rotate an Image

Turn it a quarter at a time — and if your camera tagged it sideways, fix that properly instead of fighting it. This tool lives on the open shelf: it runs in your browser, on your machine, and works right now.
