Rotate
Rotate an image by any angle
Rotate
Rotate an image by any angle
Overview
The Rotate node rotates an image by a specified angle in degrees. The rotation is performed around the center of the image. The output canvas expands to fit the rotated image without cropping.
Usage Tips
- Use 90, 180, or 270 degrees for quick orientation fixes
- Small angles (1-5 degrees) can correct slightly tilted photos
- The canvas expands to fit the rotated content - use Crop or Smart Crop after if needed
- Negative angles rotate counter-clockwise
Common Pairings
- Smart Crop - Crop to remove expanded canvas areas after rotation
- Resize - Adjust dimensions after rotation
- Merge - Layer rotated elements in compositions
Gotchas
- Rotation creates transparent corners - merge with a background if needed
- Multiple small rotations may degrade quality - do one rotation of the total angle instead
- The output dimensions change based on the angle
