How to use Rotate GIF
- Choose an animated GIF from your device.
- Quarter turns swap the width and height. Frame timing and loop settings are retained.
- Select Apply and preview, then download the result.
Frames are processed one at a time, so long GIFs are fine. Very large frame dimensions can still exceed the local memory limit, and Reverse keeps every frame in memory at once; resize or shorten the source if needed.
Frames are re-encoded. File size may change. If a composed frame exceeds the GIF color limit, its colors are reduced; the result reports when that happens.
Frequently asked questions
- Which rotation angles can I use?
- Quarter turns only: 90, 180 and 270 degrees clockwise. Arbitrary angles would need padding or cropping and would blur pixels, so they are deliberately not offered.
- Does rotating swap the width and height?
- Yes, for 90 and 270 degrees. A 320x240 GIF becomes 240x320. A 180 degree rotation keeps the original dimensions.
- Does rotating lose quality?
- Quarter turns map every pixel to an exact new position, so there is no resampling blur. Frames are re-encoded, and colors are only reduced if a composed frame exceeds the GIF palette limit, which the result tells you about.
- Is the animation timing kept?
- Yes. Frame delays and the loop setting are carried over unchanged.
- Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
- No. Rotation runs in your browser.
