1Upload the WebP images that came out the wrong way round.
2Pick a turn of 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
3Apply the rotation; the pixels and the orientation flag are reconciled so every viewer agrees on which way is up.

Rotate WebP FAQ
Does the format decide whether rotation is lossless?
+
It does. WebP carries both a lossy VP8 mode and a lossless mode plus full alpha, typically landing 25-35% under a JPG of matching visual quality. That property is exactly what determines whether a quarter turn is free or costs a re-encode.
Anything specific to WebP I should know?
+
Yes — the same .webp extension can hold a lossy VP8 frame, a lossless one, or an animation, so the sensible processing path is decided per file rather than per extension. It is the kind of thing that explains why a file looks right in one application and wrong in another.
Can I rotate a whole batch in one go?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Can I run Rotate WebP on several WebP images at once?
+
Yes. Drop the whole set into the upload area and they queue in parallel with identical settings — that is the main reason to do this in a browser rather than one file at a time in an editor. Free accounts run one file per batch; a pass lifts that.
What happens to EXIF and colour profile data?
+
It depends on the tool. Compression strips EXIF and the embedded colour profile to save space, while edits such as resizing or rotating can keep them. There is no setting on this page to choose, so check the file with a metadata viewer before publishing it if location data matters.
Does Rotate WebP cost anything?
+
No. Rotate WebP is free without an account and adds no watermark. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
Is there a file size limit on Rotate WebP?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 5 MB each, which covers essentially every camera JPG and phone photo; the work is done by libjpeg-turbo and libwebp, the same libraries a desktop editor links against. Larger files are the one thing the free tier will stop you on, and the limit is per file rather than per batch.
Why does a PNG site host Rotate WebP?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Rotate WebP on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Rotate WebP is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Rotate WebP rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Rotate WebP here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
