Frequently asked questions about Image Rotate & Flip
Can I rotate multiple times?
Yes, you can apply rotate and flip operations as many times as you want.
Why does my portrait photo show up sideways?
Cameras usually do not rotate the pixels; they just write an EXIF Orientation tag saying which way to turn the picture when displaying it. Software that ignores that tag shows the photo on its side, so physically rotating and re-saving it here locks the orientation everywhere.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Rotating turns the picture around its centre, while flipping mirrors it left-to-right or top-to-bottom. Selfies often come out mirrored because the front camera saves them that way, and text in them reads backwards — that is fixed with a horizontal flip, not a rotation.
Is the original quality kept after rotating?
Rotations in 90° steps and horizontal or vertical flips only move pixels around, so no image information is destroyed. Saving back to JPG does add one round of re-compression, though, so decide the final orientation first and save once rather than rotating back and forth.
