Rotate Image API

What it does

Image Rotation rotates an uploaded image by 90, 180, or 270 degrees and returns the rotated file as binary output.

Send a single image in the file field, choose the rotation degrees, and optionally set format to png or jpeg for the output. The upload supports images up to 15 MB. The response is the rotated image itself, so you can pass it straight into storage, upload, or a later image pipeline step.

Use Image Rotation when you need to correct camera orientation, standardise user-uploaded media, or prepare assets for a fixed layout. It fits cleanly into workflows where images arrive in inconsistent orientation and need a quick transform before display or processing.

Because the output is binary, this service is best when you want the transformed image back immediately rather than a JSON wrapper around file metadata.
