Category:Images requiring rotation

This category is hidden and appears in the second line of categories. It is not shown if the appropriate user preference is deactivated.

Files are added automatically to this category by placing the template {{Rotate}} on their description pages. Do not add files to this category manually! Maintenance: Search for misplaced files using PetScan (will not work on categories shared by many templates).

These images were uploaded with either the wrong side facing up or just a noticeable tilt of the camera. They require rotation. You can add images to this category using the template {{Rotate}}. Most easily with RotateLink.

When rotating JPEGs by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, you can simply add a parameter with a positive (clockwise) angle expressed in degrees to the template, e.g. {{Rotate|90}} for 90°. Rotatebot rotates these pictures.

Too big images (get rejected by rotatebot): Correct wrong EXIF Orientation tags with e.g exiftool. Or if they need physical rotation use lossless tool features for this - do not use lossy standard rotation. See also Commons:Rotation.

For others (non x*90°) GIMP is a good help.

CropTool can manually rotate to any angle and when saving as a new image, instead of overwriting, will provide a link between the original and new image. (Must be activated in your user preferences.)
