## Endpoint reference

### Rotate an image

`POST https://api.eu.apyhub.com/freedailypro/rotate-image-api/image-rotate` · 10 atoms · accepts `multipart/form-data` · returns `application/json`

| Parameter | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `file` | body | string (binary) | yes | The image. Up to 15 MB. |
| `format` | body | string | no | Output format: png or jpeg One of: png, jpeg. Example: `png`. |
| `degrees` | body | integer | yes | Rotation in degrees: 90, 180 or 270 One of: 90, 180, 270. Example: `90`. |

#### Quickstart

Rotate an image by sending the file and rotation degrees as a multipart upload.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.eu.apyhub.com/freedailypro/rotate-image-api/image-rotate" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/image.jpg" \
  -F "degrees=90"
```

#### What you'll get back

Returns a binary file in the response body — the rotated image itself.

## About

## 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.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
