About Rotate Image

Rotate image files that came out sideways: a photo of a contract sent through a chat app, a document scanned upside down, a screenshot from a tablet. Pick 90° right, 90° left or 180° and every file you add is turned the same way. Or choose Stand upright by itself: photos of pages taken sideways or upside down are turned by the direction of their text, since chat apps drop the camera's orientation, and photos the camera marked as sideways are turned as well. The result lists which pictures were turned, or tells you that nothing needed turning. The rotation is written into the pixels, so the picture looks right in every app and on every website, and animated GIFs keep playing. The Photo Editor can rotate a single photo while you also adjust it or draw on it.

Straighten a tilt takes out a lean of up to 20°, a scanned or photographed page by its lines of text and a photo by its horizon and straight edges such as walls, doors and windows, and the result says by how many degrees. For a value of your own, choose Any angle and enter a number between −180 and 180. Corners decides what happens to the corners after a turn by an angle: Automatic crops them off a straightened picture and fills them for any other angle, or choose Crop them off for the largest upright rectangle with no empty wedges, Fill with a colour, or See-through (PNG), which leaves them clear and brings even a JPG back as a PNG. A JPEG photo is saved again with its own compression settings, so it stays about the size it was with no visible loss, and the date taken and camera information stay with it unless you turn off Keep photo info (EXIF).

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Upright by itself

    Sideways and upside-down photos of pages are turned by their text, and camera-marked photos by their orientation.

  • Tilt taken out

    Leans of up to 20° are straightened by lines of text, the horizon or walls, and the result gives the degrees.

  • Clean corners

    Crop off the empty wedges, fill them with a color, or leave them see-through, with a JPG then saved as a PNG.

  • Quality and photo info kept

    A JPEG keeps its own compression settings and about its size, and the date taken and camera stay.

FAQ

Rotate Image: questions and answers

Why does my photo show sideways on some websites?
Phones often save a photo unrotated with an orientation tag, and some sites ignore that tag, while photos sent through chat apps lose it altogether. Stand upright by itself turns both kinds, by the tag or by the direction of the text, and the rotation becomes part of the picture itself, so it looks the same everywhere.
Do I lose quality when I rotate a photo?
Not visibly. A JPEG photo is saved again with its own compression settings, so it keeps its look and about its size. PNG and GIF stay lossless, and WebP is saved again at a high quality setting.
How do I straighten a tilted photo or scan?
Choose Straighten a tilt. A page is leveled by its lines of text and a photo by its horizon, walls, doors or windows, for leans of up to 20°, and with Corners on Automatic the empty wedges are cropped off. For an angle of your own, choose Any angle and type it, for example 3 or −2, where positive numbers turn clockwise. To cut the picture to an exact shape afterwards, use Crop Image.
Is it free to rotate images in bulk?
Yes, several photos fit in one task. Without an account you get 2 tasks in total, a free account gets 2 a day with up to 20 files of 50 MB per task, and VIP has no task limit and takes 50 files a task.
Is it safe to upload scans of documents?
Yes. Files travel over HTTPS, each job runs in an isolated process, and everything is deleted an hour later. We don't view, share or sell what you upload, and turning off Keep photo info (EXIF) under More options leaves the date and camera out of the result.
