Free · no sign-up · no watermark · up to 40 MB · uploads deleted after 24 hours, results after 7 days.

How to rotate image

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Choose the angle.
  3. Press Rotate and download.

What happens to your file

The camera’s orientation tag is applied first, then your rotation, and the result is written into the pixels themselves. Apps that ignore the orientation tag — many upload forms do — now see the picture upright.

Rotation by right angles loses nothing; the re-encode to JPG costs the usual sliver of detail.

Questions

Why does my photo look upright on my phone but sideways after uploading?

Your phone stored it sideways with a tag saying "display rotated". The upload form ignored the tag. Rotating here bakes the orientation into the pixels.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.rotate",
    "options": {
      "angle": 90,
      "format": "jpeg"
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.rotate — Turn 90, 180 or 270 degrees — after EXIF orientation. Answers WebP unless `format` says otherwise. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
