# Rotate and flip a GIF

Rotate an animated GIF or image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, flip it horizontally or vertically, or rotate by an arbitrary angle with a chosen background colour.

## How it works

This tool runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to
WebAssembly (or the Canvas API, where listed). Your file is never uploaded — it is
read into memory, processed locally, and offered back to you as a download.

## Using it

1. Open https://gif.statico.io/rotate/
2. Choose a file, by drag and drop or the file picker.
3. Adjust the settings. 90/180/270, arbitrary angles, and mirror flips.
4. Set the filename and download. Names are slugified so the result can be
   uploaded straight to Slack as a custom emoji.

Results are also saved to a per-browser history at https://gif.statico.io/history/.
