Frequently Asked Questions

How do I rotate a GIF online for free?

Upload your GIF to ezyimg's Rotate GIF tool, choose a rotation option (90°, 180°, flip), and click Apply. All frames are rotated simultaneously — the animated GIF plays correctly in the new orientation.

Can I flip a GIF horizontally?

Yes. Choose the 'Flip H' option to mirror the GIF horizontally. This reverses the left-right orientation of every frame in the animation.

Does rotating a GIF affect the quality?

Rotation and flipping are lossless operations for GIFs. The frames are rearranged without any quality loss in the pixel data.

Can I rotate videos with this tool?

Yes. The tool accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, and other video formats in addition to GIF files. The output is an MP4 video.

Why is my GIF showing sideways?

GIFs filmed on phones or cameras sometimes have rotation metadata that not all apps read. Rotating the GIF with ezyimg permanently embeds the correct orientation in the file.
