Image Rotator
Rotate images by any angle with configurable canvas expansion and fill color options.
Run tool
Rotate picture files by any numeric angle directly in your browser. This tool accepts image data, rotates the canvas clockwise or counterclockwise according to your specified degrees, and exports the modified graphic. By default, the canvas expansion setting is active, which enlarges the canvas boundaries so that the corners of your rotated picture remain fully visible rather than getting cropped. When rotating by angles that leave blank background spaces, you can specify a custom background fill color. If you provide a transparent graphic with the default black fill color, the tool automatically applies a transparent background instead of an opaque black fill. The exported file preserves your original format whenever recognized, or saves as a standard PNG file. You receive the modified image along with detailed dimension measurements for both the original graphic and the transformed output canvas.
Instructions
- Select or upload an image file into the image data field.
- Enter the rotation angle in degrees, using 90 degrees by default or choosing your preferred value.
- Keep canvas expansion enabled to fit the full rotated image, or turn it off to maintain original dimensions.
- Set an optional fill color for corner areas exposed during rotation.
- Run the tool to process the rotation and inspect the transformed image along with dimensions.
Examples
- Rotate a horizontal photo by 90 degrees with canvas expansion enabled to create a vertical portrait layout.
- Rotate an icon by 45 degrees with canvas expansion disabled and white background fill to maintain the original square dimensions.
FAQ
What happens to image corners when rotating by non-right angles?
When the expand option is selected, the canvas size increases to contain all corners. When expand is turned off, the image retains its original dimensions and outer corners outside the frame are cropped.
How does the tool handle background fill for transparent images?
If you rotate a transparent image with the default black fill color selected, the tool uses a transparent background rather than opaque black.
Which file formats are supported for the rotated image?
The tool saves the output using your input image format whenever recognized, or defaults to PNG format.
Can I rotate an image counterclockwise?
Yes, entering negative angle values rotates the image counterclockwise, while positive values rotate clockwise.
