Straightening a Crooked Photo

For crooked photos (tilted horizon), use the custom angle slider. Enable the grid overlay to use the horizon as a reference line. The tool auto-crops the edges after straightening.

Why Do Photos Sometimes Show Wrong Orientation?

Digital cameras embed orientation data in EXIF metadata. Some apps read this and rotate correctly — others ignore it and show the raw orientation. If your photo looks sideways in some apps but correct in others, use our tool to permanently bake the correct rotation into the file.
