Turn photos by quarter turns or any exact angle. Several images can be rotated together and downloaded as a ZIP.

The quick buttons rotate by -90, +90 or 180 degrees, and you can press them repeatedly. For anything else, type an angle from 0 to 360 or drag the slider. Positive values turn the image clockwise.
The same angle is applied to every image in the list, which is handy when a whole set of phone photos came out sideways.
A rectangle turned by, say, 10 degrees no longer fits in its original frame. Instead of cutting off the corners, the tool enlarges the canvas to the smallest rectangle that holds the whole rotated picture. The four triangles this creates are empty:
To straighten a slightly tilted horizon without visible corners, rotate, save as PNG, and then crop inwards with the Crop tool.
Quarter turns move pixels without blending them. Any other angle has to resample, because pixels no longer line up with the grid, so a slight softening is normal. Rotating the same image many times by small angles adds up; it is better to rotate once from the original by the total angle you want.
Output is saved at quality 0.92 for JPG and WebP. PNG is lossless.
Phones often save a photo sideways and add an EXIF orientation tag telling viewers to turn it. Browsers apply that tag when they display the image, and this tool works from what the browser displays, so a photo that looks upright in the preview will be saved upright. The saved copy has no EXIF data, so it will not be turned a second time by other apps.
One processed image downloads directly with -rotated added to its name. Two or more are packed into rotated-images.zip in your browser.
Rotation runs on a canvas in your browser, image by image. Nothing is uploaded. HEIC appears in the file picker but can only be read in browsers that support HEIC, normally Safari.
