How to rotate a GIF
- Choose a GIF, or drop it on the box above.
- Pick a rotation, and tick a flip if you also want it mirrored. The preview turns as you choose.
- Press Rotate GIF, check the result and download it.
When to rotate and when to flip
Rotating turns the whole picture around its centre. Use it for a clip filmed with the phone held the wrong way, which often arrives sideways. A 90 degree turn swaps the width and height, so a 480 x 270 GIF becomes 270 x 480.
Flipping mirrors the picture without turning it. Flip left to right when someone in the clip should face the other way, or when a reaction GIF points at the wrong side of a chat. Text in the GIF will read backwards after a horizontal flip, so check any captions first.
Questions
Does rotating lose quality?
No. Turning by 90, 180 or 270 degrees moves pixels without resampling them, so nothing is blurred.
Will the animation timing change?
No. Every frame keeps its original delay, so the GIF plays at the same speed.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. It is rotated in your browser and never leaves your device.
