Question 1

Why do iPhone photos sometimes appear sideways?

Accepted Answer

iPhones store orientation data in EXIF metadata rather than physically rotating the pixel data. Some applications and operating systems don't read this metadata correctly, causing photos to appear sideways or upside down. Rotating with this tool physically changes the pixel orientation.

Question 2

Will rotating reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

Rotating alone does not reduce quality if you use Quality Preset "Highest" or Image Quality at 100%. Lower quality settings will re-compress the image, which can introduce minor quality loss. HEIC uses HEVC compression, so some re-encoding occurs during rotation.

Question 3

Can I rotate and resize at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set your rotation, then adjust Image Resolution to change the dimensions. Both are applied in a single pass.

Question 4

Does this work with HEIC files from iPhone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This tool is designed for HEIC files from iPhone and iPad (iOS 11+). Upload your .heic file directly — no need to convert to JPEG first.

Question 5

Can I rotate to a custom angle?

Accepted Answer

The tool supports standard rotations (90°, 180°, 270°). For precise custom-angle rotation, use an image editor like GIMP or Photoshop.
