Rotate Image turns a picture by 90°, 180° or 270° and can mirror it horizontally or vertically. It fixes phone photos that show up sideways, scans fed into the scanner the wrong way round, and selfies that need un-mirroring.

Tips for best results
Front-camera selfies are often mirrored, so 'Flip horizontal' makes text in the picture readable again. If a photo looks correct on your phone but sideways on a computer, its orientation is stored in EXIF data. Rotating and saving it here makes the orientation permanent in the pixels.
Phones record orientation in a hidden EXIF tag instead of rotating the actual pixels. Some websites, printers and older programs ignore that tag, so a photo that looked fine on your phone appears sideways after uploading. Rotating it here and saving a new copy fixes the problem permanently, because the pixels themselves are turned.
Compatibility and limits
The Rotate Image tool works in all modern browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Samsung Internet, on computers, tablets and phones. Images are processed at their full original resolution. Very large photos (above about 50 megapixels) may exceed the memory limits of some mobile browsers, so if a phone struggles, try a computer or resize the image first. Your original file is never modified, because the result is saved as a new file.
Privacy: your files never leave your device
Your images are processed locally in your browser using the HTML5 canvas and WebAssembly. Photos are never uploaded, so personal pictures, ID documents and client work stay on your device. There is no account, and no copies are kept on any server.
