After (corrected)
How it works
Orientation is detected
It walks the TIFF header and IFD0 entries to find tag 0x0112, the orientation value from 1 to 8.
Preview and download
A canvas applies the matching rotate or flip transform so the corrected image previews and downloads upright.
FAQ
Why do my phone photos appear sideways on some sites?
Cameras and phones often save photos in their sensor's native orientation and store the correct rotation in an EXIF tag instead of rotating the actual pixels. Apps that ignore that tag show the image sideways or upside down.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The EXIF data is read directly from the file's bytes and the rotation is applied on an HTML canvas, entirely inside your browser.
What if my image has no EXIF orientation tag?
If no tag is found, the tool reports orientation 1 (normal) and leaves the image unchanged, since there is nothing to correct.
