Rotate PNG

Rotate PNG images without losing quality or transparency. Turn logos, icons and screenshots by 90 degrees or any angle, or flip them.

Drop images here, paste them, or click to chooseJPG, PNG, WebP and other image files, up to 50 at a time. Nothing is uploaded.

Rotate a PNG and keep the transparency

PNG is lossless and supports transparent areas. This page saves your rotated picture as a PNG by default, so a turn of 90, 180 or 270 degrees does not change a single pixel, and transparent areas stay transparent.

Rotate by any angle

Type an angle to tilt a logo, a sticker or an icon. The canvas grows to hold the whole picture, and the corners that appear stay transparent. Choose a colour in the fill setting if you want a solid background instead.

Screenshots and graphics

For screenshots, text and flat colour graphics, PNG is the best format because it keeps edges sharp. Paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard, rotate it, and download the PNG.

When a PNG is too large

PNG files of photos are big. For photos choose JPG or WebP in Save as, or reduce the file with the image compressor.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate a PNG without losing transparency?

Keep Save as on PNG. Transparent areas stay transparent, including the corners that appear when you rotate by an angle.

Does rotating a PNG reduce quality?

Not for 90, 180 and 270 degrees, which only move pixels. Other angles resample the picture and soften it slightly.

Can I rotate a PNG by 45 degrees?

Yes. Type 45 in the angle box. The canvas grows so that nothing is cut off.

Can I paste a screenshot?

Yes. Paste on the upload box, rotate the screenshot and download it as a PNG.
