Does my file get uploaded?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches this job. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)

Is Straighten a Photo free to use?

Yes — tools on the open shelf are free to use.

What files does it accept?

It works with JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP and BMP images.

Will I get empty corners where it rotated?

No. Turning a picture even a degree leaves four transparent wedges, so the tool trims to the largest rectangle that is still all picture. You lose a thin edge and gain a straight photograph.

Does it keep the camera information in my photo?

No. The result is written fresh, so the date, the camera model and any GPS location your phone recorded are left behind. The rotate tool reads the orientation tag to do its job correctly, and still discards it on the way out.

Straighten a Photo

For the crooked scan and the horizon two degrees off — fine adjustment, then the empty corners trimmed away for you. This tool lives on the open shelf: it runs in your browser, on your machine, and works right now.

How it works

Insert your image — drop it on the tool below, or click to browse.
Drag the horizon line, or nudge the angle. The grid shows you when it is level.
Press the blue button. Your image downloads immediately, with the camera metadata stripped out.
