Use an image rotator to correct a sideways photo or change a layout orientation. Select an angle, process the image and check that the result is upright before sharing.
How to use Image Rotator
- Choose an image file from your device.
- Select 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise.
- Process the rotation and inspect the full preview.
- Check that the subject and any embedded text are upright.
- Download the rotated output as a separate file.
Saving and sharing the result
The rotated picture is a separate file, and your original stays as it is. Some programs read a hidden orientation flag that cameras write into a photo, so a picture can look correct in one app and sideways in another. After downloading, open the file in the place where you will use it. If you need to turn the pages of a PDF instead of a picture, use Rotate PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Which setting turns a sideways photo upright?
Try 90 or 270 degrees clockwise based on which direction the subject needs to face.

Which angle turns a sideways photo upright?
Try 90 degrees if the top of the picture points left and 270 degrees if it points right. The preview shows the result before you download.
