Question 1

Does rotating a JPG reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

Rotating by exactly 90°, 180°, or 270° can be done losslessly for JPG files when the dimensions are multiples of the JPEG block size (8 or 16 pixels) — which covers the vast majority of photos. Custom angle rotations require re-encoding, which introduces minimal quality loss at high quality settings.

Question 2

Can I rotate multiple JPG images at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload multiple JPG files and they will all be rotated by the same angle. Download them individually or as a ZIP archive.

Question 3

What's the difference between rotating and flipping?

Accepted Answer

Rotating turns the image around its center by a specified angle (90°, 180°, etc.). Flipping mirrors the image along an axis — horizontal flip reverses left and right, vertical flip reverses top and bottom. A 180° rotation produces the same result as applying both a horizontal and vertical flip.

Question 4

Will rotation fix my photo's EXIF orientation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. XConvert rotates the actual pixel data and updates the EXIF orientation tag, so the image displays correctly in all software regardless of EXIF support.

Question 5

Can I rotate JFIF files too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. JFIF is a subset of the JPEG standard — XConvert accepts JPG, JPEG, and JFIF files interchangeably.
