Put a spin on any photo.

Sometimes you can make a great photo even better by adjusting the rotation. Try changing an image from portrait to landscape by turning it 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. Or, for an even bigger change, flip your photo 180 degrees to get a mirror image. Whether you want to make a slight rotation or change the perspective entirely, there’s a way to do it in Photoshop.

Rotate an image in 2 steps.

  • With your image open in Photoshop, go to Image > Image Rotation. PC.
  • Select from the image rotation options — 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counterclockwise, or 180 degrees.
  • To choose a different number of degrees you’d like to rotate your image in Photoshop, follow the steps above, but choose Arbitrary... in the Image Rotation menu. Type in the exact number of degrees, choose clockwise or counterclockwise, and click OK.

Experiment with different rotation tools.

There are several ways to rotate images in Photoshop, each with specific features to help you get the look you’re going for. Test all of them out to see what works best for you.
