Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Our Rotate Image tool operates 100% client-side inside your browser sandbox using HTML5 Canvas and OffscreenCanvas APIs. We do not transmit or upload your photos to any remote servers, ensuring complete privacy and absolute protection from data leaks.
EXIF orientation is a simple metadata header tag embedded by camera hardware specifying which way is 'up'. Some software and browsers support this tag automatically, while others ignore it, causing sideways displays. Manual canvas rotation actually restructures and rewrites the underlying pixel array, baking the rotation permanently into the file so it displays identically on any device.
Standard 90° or 180° rotations of PNG (lossless) images are entirely lossless. For JPEGs, canvas manipulation requires decoding and re-compressing the image, which can result in minor lossy artifacts. To minimize quality loss, we use high-quality bilinear/bicubic resampling interpolation and allow you to configure the output quality factor up to 100%.
When you rotate an image by an arbitrary angle (e.g. 45°), the corners of the image extend outwards. Choosing 'Expand Canvas' recalculates the image boundaries and increases the output size to prevent corners from being cropped. If you choose 'Crop Overflow', the canvas dimensions remain identical to the original, clipping any rotated corners.
You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, GIF (first static frame), and SVG (which will be rasterized automatically). Export formats include PNG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF.
