How it works / no cloud
A conversion engine, not an upload form.
filetity redraws the image onto a canvas turned by the amount you chose, then saves that. A quarter turn swaps the width and height, so nothing is cropped off the edges. Nothing is uploaded.
- Offline ready
- Installable app
- No file limit queue
Straight answers
No accordion. Nothing hidden.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Does it need an account?
- No. There is no account system.
- Is my file processed on my device?
- Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
- What formats are supported?
- JPG, PNG and WebP in. The result comes back in the same kind of format: PNG stays PNG, everything else is saved as JPG. One file out, or a ZIP for several.
- What are the limits?
- Turns are in quarters: 90, 180 and 270 degrees. There is no free-angle rotation, because straightening by a few degrees means either cropping the corners or padding them, and this tool does neither.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the page has loaded. The tool keeps working with no network connection.
- Why is my photo sideways in the first place?
- Phones usually store the photo the way the sensor read it and add a flag saying which way up it should be. Software that reads the flag shows it correctly, and software that ignores it shows it sideways. Saving it here writes the pixels the right way round, so it looks correct everywhere.
- Can I rotate by a few degrees to straighten a horizon?
- No. Quarter turns only. Rotating by a small angle leaves triangular gaps at the corners, which every tool solves by either cropping in or filling with invented pixels. Both change your photo more than you asked, so this tool does not offer it.
- Does rotating lose quality?
- Not the rotation itself: a quarter turn just moves pixels. Saving a JPG re-encodes it, which costs a little. Rotate a PNG and nothing is lost at all.
