Technical Notes

How Image Rotation Works

When an image is rotated, the output canvas dimensions may change. For 90° and 270° rotations, the width and height are simply swapped. For other angles, the new dimensions are calculated using trigonometry to ensure the entire rotated image fits without cropping:

• New Width = |cos(angle)| × original_width + |sin(angle)| × original_height
• New Height = |sin(angle)| × original_width + |cos(angle)| × original_height

Browser-Based Processing

This tool uses the HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript to perform all image processing directly in your web browser. This approach offers several advantages:

• Privacy: Your images never leave your device
• Speed: No upload/download time for processing
• Offline capable: Works even without an internet connection after the page loads
• No limits: No file size restrictions or processing quotas

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I rotate an image online?

What image formats are supported?

This image rotator supports all common image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and TIFF. Rotated images are saved in PNG format to preserve quality and transparency.

Can I rotate multiple images at once?

Yes, you can rotate multiple images simultaneously. Simply select or drag multiple files at once. All images will be rotated by the same angle you choose. After processing, you can download each image individually or download all rotated images as a ZIP archive.

Is my image data secure when using this tool?

Yes, your images are completely secure. This image rotator processes everything directly in your web browser using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas. Your images are never uploaded to any server - all processing happens locally on your device.

Why does rotating an image sometimes make it larger?

When you rotate an image by an angle other than 90, 180, or 270 degrees, the output canvas must be larger to fit the rotated image without cropping. The new dimensions are calculated using trigonometry to ensure the entire rotated image fits within the frame.
