Image Rotator Details
Image Rotator turns an image by the angle you give it. Alongside the usual 90 and 180, it accepts any whole number between -360 and 360.
It fixes photos shot the wrong way round, straightens scanned documents, and pulls a tilted horizon back by a couple of degrees.
The workflow
Opening the tool for the first time, this is the flow:
- Add the image you want rotated to the upload area.
- Type the angle: positive values turn clockwise, negative values the other way.
- Run the rotation and check the direction in the preview.
- Download the result, which keeps the source format.
Technical details
How the rotation behaves in detail:
- The angle must be a whole number between -360 and 360; decimals are not accepted.
- Any angle that is not a multiple of 90 grows the canvas and leaves empty corners.
- Formats with transparency keep those corners transparent, while formats such as JPG show a solid fill.
- The output format matches the input and the file is re-encoded only once.
- Each file can reach 24 MB and the queue holds 20 files.
Is this the right tool
Reach for it when orientation is the problem: quarter turns change direction without touching pixel quality, while small angles straighten a crooked shot.
To lose the empty corners a rotation leaves behind, follow up with the Image Cropper. The Image Resizer handles dimensions and the Image Compressor handles weight.
Practical notes
- Small corrections usually land within one to three degrees.
- Turning many files the same way? Type the angle once and run the queue as a batch.
- Some software ignores the orientation flag phones write, so rotating the pixels is the durable fix.
- Stick to multiples of 90 if you want no empty corners at all.
Where your data is processed
The conversion happens on the server: the file arrives with the request, gets processed, and leaves in the same response. Nothing is archived, the contents are never inspected, and the only thing recorded afterwards is a counter of how often the tool ran.
