What happens to image dimensions?

A 90-degree or 270-degree rotation swaps the output width and height. A 180-degree rotation keeps them unchanged. The original image is never overwritten.

Choose the right export format

  • Use PNG when you need transparency or lossless graphics.
  • Use JPG for smaller photo files and broad upload compatibility.
  • Use WebP when the destination accepts it and you want a modern, compact image format.

Limitations

  • Rotation changes the orientation but does not remove unwanted edges; crop the result if you need a tighter frame.
  • SVG inputs are rasterized on export, and animated GIF inputs export only their first frame.
  • Exporting to JPG removes transparency because JPG does not support transparent pixels.
