Published: Oct 19, 2026 | Updated: Oct 19, 2026 | About (Japanese)

Key points

"Rotate left" / "Rotate right" turn it 90 degrees at a time
Rotate and crop together
Saving gives a new image in the new orientation

Steps

In "Crop & Rotate Image", choose an image.
Tap "Rotate left" or "Rotate right" until it is upright.
If you don't need to crop, expand the area to fill the whole image.
Tap "Crop" and save.

Points

Each tap rotates 90 degrees.
For an upside-down photo, tap twice.
Rotating resets the crop area, so set the area after rotating.

Why orientation differs

Phones record the shooting orientation as metadata and apps handle it differently. Saving bakes the orientation into the image.
