Rotate Image Feature Card 1

The free image rotator tool easily corrects a wrong photo orientation. Rotate your photo by 90 degrees, clockwise or counterclockwise, to turn a portrait photo to landscape and vice versa. If you want to turn your picture upside down, simply rotate the picture by 180 degrees.

Head to a new direction

Rotate Image Feature Card 2

Rotate your images in a way that makes sense for your project. Need to tilt the image to straighten the horizon? Need to rotate it for a whole new photo perspective? Just drag the rotator tool to turn the picture to any angle.

Give your photo a stylish twist

Once you’re done rotating the images, use Canva’s powerful photo editor to enhance and polish your pictures. Add text, apply filters, or use stunning photo effects. Fine-tune your picture’s brightness, saturation, and more. Or use the Auto Enhance tool to touch up your photos in one click.
