Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask most about Image Rotator

Why is my uploaded photo sideways?

Phone and camera photos can store orientation in EXIF metadata. Rotating and exporting creates a new image with the visible orientation you choose.

How do I rotate an image 90 degrees?

Simply upload your image and click the '90° CW' button to rotate clockwise or '90° CCW' for counter-clockwise. You can click multiple times to keep rotating in 90° increments.

Can I rotate an image by a custom angle?

Yes! Use the custom angle slider or type any value from 0 to 359 degrees in the input field. The preview updates in real-time so you can see exactly how your image will look.

What image formats are supported?

Our Image Rotator supports all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP. Upload any supported format and download the rotated result as a high-quality PNG.

Is my image uploaded when rotating?

Rotation runs in your browser. The selected image is not uploaded to Rune for this operation.

Will rotating my image reduce its quality?

No! We use canvas-based rotation that preserves the original pixel quality. The output image maintains the same resolution and clarity as the original.

Why did the canvas size change after custom rotation?

Non-right-angle rotations need extra canvas space to avoid cutting off corners, so the exported image dimensions can change.

Can I rotate multiple images at once?

Currently the tool processes one image at a time for the best experience. Upload a new image after downloading your rotated result to process another.

How do I fix a sideways photo?

Upload the sideways photo and click the '90° CW' or '90° CCW' button depending on which direction the photo needs to be rotated. The live preview will show you the corrected orientation instantly.

Can I use rotated images commercially?

You can use rotated images commercially when you own or have rights to the source image.
