Photos taken vertically on your phone appear sideways on your computer? Scans are upside down? Rotating an image is the most basic editing need. Here's how to fix the orientation fast.
Common orientation problems
- Phone photo rotation: vertical photos shown sideways — the most common issue
- Wrong scan direction: scans come out reversed or upside down
- Reversed screenshots: images arrive in the wrong direction
- Slight angle offsets: need a small nudge
Rotation options
- 90° rotation: counterclockwise/clockwise, the most common
- 180° rotation: flip upside down
- Any angle: free input for fine-tuning
- Auto-correct: fixes phone photo orientation from EXIF data
Rotate an image with PixelForge
Open the PixelForge EXIF Auto-Rotate tool — processed entirely in your browser, no upload.
Step 1: Upload images (batch supported). Step 2: Choose auto-correct (EXIF) or manual rotation (90°, 180°, any angle). Step 3: Preview and export.
Tips
- Try auto-correct first for phone photos, then manual
- Free rotation enlarges the canvas — crop the empty space
- Batch rotate when images share the same direction
- 90°/180° rotation is lossless; free rotation resamples
