Sips Image Rotator: Batch Image Orientation Correction

This tool leverages macOS's built-in sips command to provide you with a simple and efficient way to rotate images. Whether you need to correct the shooting angle of a single photo or batch-unify the orientation of all images in a folder, it can handle the task.

Sips Image Rotator

⚡️ Quick Start

  1. Select Images: Click "Select Folder" mode, then add your images.
  2. Choose Rotation Angle: Click a preset angle card, such as "90°" (clockwise rotation of 90 degrees).
  3. Choose Output Method: Select "Save to Specified Folder" and specify a directory.
  4. Click the "Execute" Button: After the command completes, you'll get the rotated image files.

🤔 When Should I Use It?

  • You took some portrait photos with your phone that are "lying down" when displayed on the computer, and need to batch rotate them 90 degrees to the right (clockwise).
  • You scanned a batch of files, but some pages are upside down and need 180-degree rotation.
  • You got a design image that looks slightly tilted and want to fine-tune it, such as rotating it 3 degrees counterclockwise (input -3).

⚙️ Parameter Description

  • Select Images:

    • Select File/Folder: Specify the source file or folder for operations. Supports batch processing.
  • Rotation Angle:

    • Preset Cards: Quick selection of 90° (clockwise), 180°, or 270° (counterclockwise 90°).
    • Custom: After activating the input box, you can manually enter any integer angle between -360 and 360. Positive numbers represent clockwise, negative numbers represent counterclockwise.
  • Output Settings:

    • Overwrite Original Files: Directly modify the original files (this operation cannot be undone).
    • Save to Specified Folder: Save rotated image copies to a new directory without affecting original files (recommended).

⚠️ Important Notes

  • This command depends on the sips tool that comes with macOS, so it's only available on macOS.
  • "Overwrite Original Files" is a destructive operation. Please confirm you no longer need the original orientation images before executing.
  • This is a responsive interface, and all your settings will be reflected in real-time in the command area below.
