Rotate pixel art without blur
How it works
- Upload your pixel art sprite
- Click 90°, 180°, or 270° rotation button
- Download the rotated sprite
Why use this instead of Photoshop?
- No interpolation: pixels stay perfectly crisp
- Instant preview of each rotation angle
- No account or software install needed
- Works with transparent backgrounds
Rotating the image vs turning the character
This tool turns the picture, not the character drawn on it. Rotate a hero sprite by 90° and you get a hero lying down, because nothing here knows what that character looks like from behind. Top-down and isometric games need the same character seen from north, east and the diagonals, and that's a drawing job. The 8 direction sprite generator does it from one sprite, keeping the palette and proportions across all 8 facings. Keep the 90° turns here for tiles, icons and anything that is the same picture spun around.

FAQ
No. Arbitrary rotation destroys pixel art because it requires interpolation. This tool only supports 90°, 180°, and 270° for pixel-perfect results.
90° and 270° swap width and height (e.g. 32×48 becomes 48×32). 180° keeps the same dimensions.
Yes, transparent pixels remain transparent after rotation.
