Rotate Image

Rotate Image

What it's for: rotate an image 90°, 180°, or 270°.

How to rotate an image

1. Pick: open an image file.
2. Rotate: choose the rotation angle.
3. Save: write the rotated image to disk.

How it works

The image is decoded, rotated by the exact angle you chose, and re-encoded: you can also change the output format and quality at the same time, since rotation goes through the same image encoder as Compress Image.

Why the output file size might change after just rotating

Since rotating re-encodes the image, the output size depends on the quality/format settings applied during that re-encode, not just the rotation itself. If you notice a size difference, check the quality and format PaperOtter used for the save, same as you would for Compress Image.
