Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does rotating an image reduce its quality or resolution?
No! Our tool utilizes a mathematical canvas transformation that redraws the original pixel data. Your downloaded image will perfectly retain the high-quality resolution of the original file without heavy compression.
What happens to the background when I rotate to a custom angle?
When you rotate a rectangular image to a custom angle (e.g., 45 degrees), empty space is inevitably created in the new corners to prevent your image from being cropped. Our tool intelligently leaves these corners transparent and will auto-export your image as a PNG to preserve that transparency.
Is my image uploaded to a remote server?
Absolutely not. We engineered this utility using strictly client-side JavaScript. The mathematical manipulation relies entirely on your device's memory, meaning your graphics are never transmitted over the internet.
