What is Rotate or flip an image

Rotating or flipping an image means changing its orientation: turning it 90° left or right to straighten a photo that came out sideways, or mirroring it horizontally or vertically for a mirror effect. It’s exactly what you need when a phone photo shows up on its side, when you want to set a scanned document upright, or when you want to flip an image so it faces the other way. Most rotation sites upload your image to a server; fetchio.io works the other way around: the rotation and flip run inside your browser with the Canvas API, so the photo never leaves your device. You apply as many turns and flips as you like, cumulatively, see them instantly in the preview, and download the result keeping the original format, with no watermarks and no daily limits.

Rotating by 90° and flipping don’t degrade pixels. If your image is JPG, saving re-encodes it at high quality (~92%), a minimal loss; PNGs are saved losslessly.

It keeps the original format: a JPG comes out as JPG (re-encoded at ~92% quality) and a PNG comes out as a lossless PNG. It doesn’t change your file’s extension.

Yes. The tool reads the photo’s EXIF orientation and sets it upright before you rotate, so you start from the correct position and straighten a sideways photo in one click.

No. Rotation and flipping run in your browser with the Canvas API; the image never leaves your device, and there are no watermarks or daily limits.
