Frequently Asked Questions

2 questions answered

Does rotating an image reduce quality?

For 90° and 270° rotations of JPG images, most tools re-encode the JPEG which can reduce quality. ImgToolkit uses the Canvas API to render and re-save, preserving quality at the level you set.

Can I rotate a PNG without losing the transparent background?

Yes. PNG files are rendered on a transparent canvas and rotated without adding a white background.
