What Rotate Image can do
Turned in the pixels, not in a note beside them
Phones often save a photo sideways and add a note that says “show this turned”. Some apps read the note and some do not, which is why a photo can look right on your phone and lie on its side on a website or in an email. This page writes the picture already turned and leaves the note out, so it looks the same wherever you put it.
Left, right, mirror, upside down
Each tap turns the photo a quarter, or mirrors it. Mirror swaps left and right, for a selfie that came out reversed or a sign that reads backwards. Upside down flips it top to bottom. The picture on the page is the file you will get. Straightening by a few degrees, for a tilted horizon, is not here yet.
What the saved file is
The turned photo keeps all its pixels: 4000 × 3000 comes back 3000 × 4000. A JPG stays a JPG and a PNG a PNG; an iPhone HEIC comes back as JPG, and so does a WebP in Safari. A JPG is saved again at 90% quality. The metadata is left out too, so the file carries no capture date, camera model or GPS position.

Questions
Why does my photo turn sideways again after I upload it?
The phone saved it sideways with an orientation note, and the site ignored the note. A photo turned here has no such note: its pixels are already upright.
Does rotating lose quality?
A PNG keeps every pixel. A JPG is saved again at 90% quality: the photo looks the same, but it is a new encoding rather than a byte-for-byte copy.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It is turned in this browser tab and never leaves your device.
