How to rotate an image?

January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I took an image in portrait on my iphone4. I emailed it to my account to upload it but it's come out landscape. Can anyone tell me how to rotate it back to the right way up?

I'm having the same thing happen too. Thanks for asking because I'd like to know as well.

hi Jeni, there's not a rotate button per se on the site, you could use Picnik or similar to rotate the image if your iphone doesn't let you.

I don't know the answer to your question, but welcome to 365 to you both of you. I'm sure someone will have your answer as the day goes on.

@rainbowmummy @herussell @staceyisler If you are using an iphone and sending directly yo.the site it must be in landscape mode ( home button on right instead of bottom). If you take in portrait mode ( home button on bottom) you must use an editing program to save the photo first. WHY? I think it is an apple issue. SO, Ps express is a free app where you can load a photo and then save it and/or do basic exits. When you send it that way it will post like you want it to.

The way I do this is with apps. There are lot of free apps for photo editing, you can download one of them and almost all of them do basic things like crop, straighten, rotate. They also have many different filters.

Download the app, open your photo from your photo library from the app, rotate and save it back to the library. Very easy.

I also need to know how to do this. My camera automatically rotates photos and they are downloaded into my computer via Picasa the right way up, but when I uploaded one to this site it was landscape instead of portrait.

Same problem. Also, when taken in landscape they come in upside down. Help? This makes no sense. I tried rotating them in PhotoShop CS4. No help. Same result.

Has anyone found an answer to this? No matter what I do, I have one stubborn photo that won't stay oriented right.

Never seen a photo sharing site that doesn't have 'rotate' functionality. It's quite absurd.

I'm having this same trouble. I took a picture with my Nikon D7000. It is the correct orientation on my computer but when I uploaded the picture it went landscape.

Same here. I took a photo with my iPad and rotated it to portrait in another program. When I uploaded it here, it was landscape.

Same here except mine was taken with my camera, rotated using Microsoft Office Picture Manager, yet shows on here as landscape! It's only my second photo on my project so I may just move over to Flickr instead if this is going to be an issue.

The easiest way to do this if you're using Windows is to simply open the image into Windows Photo Viewer (Which is usually the default for viewing photos) and just click on the arrows that appear to be rotating counter clockwise and clockwise, whichever way you'd like to rotate the picture. Once you close Windows Photo Viewer or view a different image, it will save that rotation on the photo.

Simplest solution.

Just like @shaggers @jerryc41 @danfredell @ronah @bdonley @waterlil @staceyisler @rainbowmummy , I'm getting a little frustrated - am having a 10-20% hit-rate on my photos being displayed with an incorrect rotation, even though I have shot and/or turned AND saved the photos correctly ... unfortunately obvious and "simplest solution" (@Scrivna @connorkuehl @ikamera @brumbe) does not render desired result
