Frequently Asked Questions About Image Rotation

How do I rotate a photo on my phone or computer?

Upload your photo to our online rotation tool, then use the rotation buttons to rotate 90°, 180°, 270°, or enter a custom angle. Our tool works on any device - phone, tablet, or computer - directly in your browser. No app installation required.

Why won't my pictures rotate automatically?

Pictures may not auto-rotate due to missing or incorrect EXIF orientation data, browser limitations, or device settings. Our tool manually rotates images regardless of EXIF data, ensuring consistent results across all devices and platforms. This is especially common with images from older cameras or when EXIF data is stripped.

How do I fix the rotation of an image?

Upload your image to our rotation tool and use the rotation buttons to correct the orientation. Use 'Rotate Right' (90°) or 'Rotate Left' (-90°) to fix sideways images, or '180°' for upside-down images. You can preview the result in real-time and download the corrected image immediately.

What is the shortcut for rotate image?

In our online tool, click 'Rotate Right' for 90° clockwise rotation, 'Rotate Left' for 90° counter-clockwise, or '180°' for half rotation. For precise control, use the custom angle input to enter any degree value from -360° to +360°.

Which tool or command is used to rotate an image?

Use our online image rotation tool with buttons for 'Rotate Right' (90°), 'Rotate Left' (-90°), '180°', or enter a custom angle for precise rotation. No software installation required - works directly in your web browser on any device with full mobile support.

Common Rotation Scenarios

• Portrait to Landscape: Rotate 90° or -90° to change orientation
• Upside Down Photos: Use 180° rotation to flip completely
• Sideways Images: Rotate 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise
• Artistic Effects: Use custom angles for creative tilted effects
• Social Media: Rotate images to fit platform requirements
• Document Scanning: Correct orientation of scanned documents
• Photo Editing: Prepare images for specific layouts or designs

Rotation Angles Explained

• 90° (Rotate Right): Clockwise quarter turn, portrait becomes landscape
• -90° (Rotate Left): Counter-clockwise quarter turn
• 180°: Half turn, flips image upside down
• 270°: Three-quarter turn, same as -90°
• Custom Angles: Any degree value for precise artistic control

Supported Image Formats

Our rotation tool supports all major image formats:

• JPEG/JPG: Perfect for photographs and complex images
• PNG: Ideal for images with transparency and graphics
• GIF: Great for simple graphics (static frames only)
• WebP: Modern format with excellent compression
• SVG: Vector graphics maintain quality at any rotation
• BMP: Uncompressed bitmap format

Tips for Best Results

• Use PNG format to preserve transparency when rotating logos or icons
• For photos, JPEG format maintains good quality with smaller file sizes
• Custom angles may create transparent areas - PNG handles this better than JPEG
• Preview your rotated image before downloading to ensure correct orientation
• Use the reset function to quickly return to the original orientation
• Multiple 90° rotations are lossless, custom angles may introduce slight quality changes
