When taking portrait photos with a phone or camera, copying them to a computer often results in incorrect orientation. In such cases, you'll want to rotate and align the image on your computer with your chosen composition. Refer to the steps below for guidance.
Mastering Image Rotation and Tilt on Your Computer
Step 1: Begin by double-clicking on the image you wish to rotate or tilt.
Step 2: Next, click on the circular arrow icon on the right to rotate the image clockwise.
Alternatively, if you prefer to rotate it counterclockwise, choose the circular arrow icon on the left.
Continuously press one of the two buttons until you achieve the desired angle for the image.
On Windows 10, there's a slight difference in the interface of the default Microsoft Photos app.
Method 2: Rotate an Inverted Image with JPEG Viewer Software
Step 1: First, download the JPEG Viewer software to your machine. This is a handy, no-installation-required tool.
Step 2: Launch the JPEG Viewer application. Then, go to File > Open and locate the image you want to rotate.
Navigate to Edit > Rotate and choose the desired rotation angle.
After rotation, click the Save button to preserve the changes.
Those are all the steps to rotate an inverted or tilted image on your computer. In reality, you can use any image viewer to perform this task, not just Microsoft's Windows Photo Viewer. However, this is arguably the quickest and most effective way to get it done.
Additionally, you can effortlessly rotate a flipped video in situations where your camera or phone is positioned upside down.
