Batch rotate photos

To batch rotate photos, you can use different tools depending on your device or operating system. Here’s how to do it on various platforms:


Windows (Using Built-in Photos App or File Explorer)

  1. File Explorer:

    • Select all the photos you want to rotate.

    • Right-click on one of them.

    • Choose “Rotate right” or “Rotate left”.

    • All selected photos will rotate accordingly.

  2. Photos App (Windows 10/11):

    • Open one image in the Photos app.

    • Click the rotate icon (circular arrow) or press Ctrl + R.

    • Navigate to the next photo and repeat.

For true batch operations, consider third-party software like IrfanView or FastStone.


Mac (Using Preview)

  1. Select all the images in Finder.

  2. Right-click and open them with Preview.

  3. In the Preview sidebar, select all thumbnails (Cmd + A).

  4. Go to Tools > Rotate Left or Rotate Right.

  5. Save the changes (Cmd + S).


Linux (Using Terminal and ImageMagick)

  1. Install ImageMagick if not already installed:

    bash
    sudo apt install imagemagick
  2. Run this command in the terminal:

    bash
    mogrify -rotate 90 *.jpg

    Replace 90 with your desired angle and *.jpg with your file type.


Online Tools

These allow you to upload multiple images and rotate them all at once, then download them in a ZIP file.


Mobile Apps

  • iOS: Use the Photos app → Edit → Rotate → Use batch editing via third-party apps like Snapseed or Adobe Lightroom.

  • Android: Use Google Photos or batch editing apps like Photo Editor Pro or Pixlr.
