Choose a photo and it opens turned 90° clockwise; the result card saves it back in the same format. If a JPG looks right on the phone but sideways in another app, it carries an orientation tag that app ignored. Photopip applies the tag when it opens the JPG, so that photo is not turned a second time, and the card says so. For 180°, the other way or any angle, use Image > Image Rotation.

1. Click Choose a photo, or drop an image on the page. It opens turned 90° clockwise, and History shows Rotate 90°. A JPG with an orientation tag opens upright and is left as it is.
2. Need a different turn? If the photo was turned, undo that first with Ctrl+Z (Command+Z on a Mac, or the undo arrow at the top on a phone). Then choose Image > Image Rotation > 90° Counter Clockwise, 180° or Arbitrary... and type the degrees. The card stays open and follows the picture.
3. Click Download JPG (or PNG, matching the file you opened). For the sample photo the size line reads 198 KB → 207 KB · JPG · 1216 × 832.

Why is my photo upright on the phone but sideways on the computer?

Phones often store the pixels sideways and add an orientation tag that says which way is up. Software that ignores the tag shows the photo sideways. The file you download here has the pixels turned and no tag, so it looks the same everywhere.

What happens at an angle like 3°?

Any angle that isn't a quarter turn resamples the picture and enlarges the canvas, and the uncovered corners are filled with the background color. To level a horizon and trim those corners in one go, pick the Crop Tool, turn on its straighten option in the options bar and draw a line along the horizon.

My photo was upright, and now it is sideways.

Undo the turn with Ctrl+Z (or the undo arrow on a phone), then download. This happens with HEIC files, the format iPhones save photos in by default: the page reads orientation tags from JPGs only, so a HEIC that already opens upright is still turned once.

What are the limits?

It opens JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF (first frame), BMP and HEIC. JPG, PNG and WEBP save in the same format; others save as PNG if they have transparency, otherwise JPG. A JPG is re-encoded once at quality 92, and EXIF is not carried over. One image at a time, up to 100 million pixels. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
