Flip or rotate pictures

If your pictures are the wrong way up or back-to-front, you can flip or rotate them so that they look right.

Flip a picture

  1. Click Edit.

  2. Select either Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.

  3. If you want to keep the picture flipped in this way, click Save.

    Otherwise, don't save the picture and it will be returned to its original orientation the next time you open it.

Rotate a picture

  1. Move the mouse pointer over the image. Two buttons with arrow will appear at the bottom.

  2. Select either Rotate the image 90 degrees to the left or Rotate the image 90 degrees to the right.

  3. If you want to keep the picture rotated in this way, click Save.

    Otherwise, don't save the picture and it will be returned to its original orientation the next time you open it.
