When you would use this

Situations, not settings.

A photo the gallery shows sideways
Some apps read the orientation tag and some ignore it. Rotating writes the change into the pixels so every app agrees.
A document photographed at an angle
A quarter turn puts a page the right way up before it goes into a PDF or an OCR pass.
A selfie that came out mirrored
Front cameras flip the image. Mirroring it back makes text in the shot readable again.

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.

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 format it went in as: a JPG stays a JPG, a PNG stays a PNG, a WebP stays a WebP. 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, after you have used it once. Your browser keeps what the tool needs, so it then works 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.
Why does my photo already look upright here when it shows sideways elsewhere?
Because this page reads the orientation flag your phone wrote and shows the photo the way it was meant. Software that ignores the flag shows the raw pixels. This tool will not save an image you have not turned, so to fix that case without rotating, re-save it through the JPEG to JPG tool, which writes the pixels upright and drops the flag.
Can I rotate a batch?
Yes, all by the same amount. Drop them together, choose the turn, and they come back in a ZIP, each named with -rotated.
