FAQ

Rotate Image FAQs

What is the Rotate Image tool?

It lets you upload images and rotate them online, with an API option for automated workflows.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Yes. The free public tool supports up to 3 files per batch. Larger batches are routed to the Premium upgrade flow.

Is there an API for this image tool?

Yes. Use multipart uploads with POST /api/image/rotate or the versioned alias POST /v1/image/rotate.

Can I use this from the command line?

Yes. Use scripts/image_tool_cli.py rotate with one or more local files and the same options shown on this page.

Can MCP clients access this tool?

Yes. The MCP wrapper exposes resize_image, crop_image, compress_image, rotate_image, watermark_image, transform_image, and list_image_tools helpers.

Which formats are supported?

Supported inputs include JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG, TIFF, TIF, BMP, ICO, HEIC, HEIF and PDF.

Are SVG files handled as vectors?

SVG compression keeps vector markup. SVG resize and crop preserve vector canvas settings when SVG output is selected, and rasterize when a raster output format is selected.

How are PDF files handled?

Choose a PDF page and process it as an image for resizing, cropping, compression, rotation or watermarking.

Can I remove metadata?

Yes. Metadata stripping is enabled by default for raster outputs to reduce file size and protect privacy.

What happens if I upload more than 3 files?

The UI and API return a Premium-required response so the free tool stays fast and predictable.
