Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo look upright here but sideways in another program?

Phones usually save the photo unrotated and add an EXIF orientation tag telling viewers which way to turn it. Browsers honour that tag; a lot of older software does not, so the same file looks correct in one place and sideways in another. Exporting from this tool writes the rotation into the pixels themselves, which fixes it everywhere.

Why did my image get bigger after straightening?

Rotating a rectangle by anything other than a quarter turn produces a shape whose bounding box is larger than the original. The canvas is grown to fit so that no corner is silently cut off, and the new triangular areas at the edges are filled. Crop back to a clean rectangle afterwards.

Does rotating lose quality?

A quarter turn does not — the pixels are simply relocated. An arbitrary angle does, slightly, because pixels no longer land on a whole-number grid and have to be interpolated. Straighten once from the original rather than nudging repeatedly.
