Rotate a GIF image online
Rotate any GIF in pixel-perfect 90° steps — the first frame becomes a clean still image you can save as PNG or JPEG. The animated GIF file itself is untouched. Everything runs on your device: no uploads, no waiting.

Rotate and download
Press Rotate image and your result appears with its final dimensions, ready to download as PNG, JPEG or WebP. The originals stay in the queue untouched.
Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate an image?
Add an image, then use the rotate buttons for 90-degree turns or the mirror buttons to flip it horizontally or vertically. Press Rotate image and download the result. You can queue several files and copy the current transform to all of them with one click.
Will rotating or flipping reduce image quality?
No pixels are resampled. Ninety-degree rotations and mirrors only move pixels to new positions — nothing is blurred or interpolated. Quality only changes if you export to JPEG or WebP, where the quality slider controls compression. PNG output stays completely lossless.
How does the image flip work?
The mirror buttons flip the image horizontally (left↔right) or vertically (top↔bottom) with a single click. It is a pixel-perfect mirror — no resampling — and you can combine it with any 90-degree rotation on the same file, or apply both to a queued batch with Apply to all.
Can I straighten a photo by a few degrees, like 5°?
This tool deliberately sticks to 90-degree steps. Arbitrary angles require resampling every pixel and filling the exposed corners, which visibly softens the image. If you need a photo turned upright or sideways, 90-degree steps give you a pixel-perfect result instead.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The preview, the rotation and the re-encoding all happen locally in your browser using Web Workers. Your files never leave your device, no matter how many you queue.
Can I rotate several images at once?
Yes. Add all the files, set up the transform on one of them, then press Apply to all — every image in the queue receives the same rotation and mirroring. Rotate each image and the downloads collect in the results list, with the originals left untouched.
Can I rotate an animated GIF?
This tool rotates the GIF's first frame as a still image, and the animated GIF file itself is never modified. If you just want a still from a GIF heading the right way for a thumbnail or profile picture, this does it in two clicks.
Does rotating a GIF lose quality?
The rotation itself cannot: 90° steps move whole pixels without resampling, so the frame is exactly as sharp as it was. GIF frames carry a 256-color palette, so the only thing that can soften the look is an export choice — PNG output keeps the frame exact, while JPEG re-encodes at the quality you pick.
