Correct Image Orientation Instantly & Securely
Nothing is more frustrating than uploading a photo only to find it displayed sideways or upside down. Whether it's a scanned document, a smartphone selfie, or a professional product shot, incorrect orientation disrupts your workflow and looks unprofessional. This tool allows you to fix image orientation errors permanently, directly in your browser, without waiting for server uploads.
Why Photos Appear Sideways (The EXIF Problem)
Digital cameras and smartphones often don't physically rotate the image pixels when you take a vertical photo. Instead, they add a metadata tag called EXIF Orientation that tells software which way is "up." When you view these images on devices or websites that ignore this metadata, the photo displays in its raw, sideways state. Our tool solves this by physically rearranging the pixels, ensuring your image looks correct on 100% of devices and platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this safer than other online tools?
Most online editors require you to upload your file to a remote server for processing. Because our tool processes files locally on your device (Client-Side), your sensitive documents or personal photos never leave your computer.
Will this fix images that look fine on my phone but sideways on my PC?
Yes. This is a classic "metadata interpretation" issue. By rotating and saving the image here, we hard-code the new orientation so it displays correctly everywhere, regardless of the device or software used.
