How do I rotate an image that appears sideways after uploading?
Updated over a month ago

Have you ever uploaded the perfect photo to your fundraising page or E-mail Blast, only to find it appears sideways? Not to worry - this article with help guide you through the steps you need to fix it!

Step 1: Use an editable version of the image.

Photos taken with modern cameras (such as the ones built into most mobile phones) store "metadata," which includes the image’s original orientation. To update this, you will need to edit the image.

We highly recommend making a copy of the original file before you make any edits so you do not overwrite it.

Step 2: Open up the image in the editing tool of your choice.

Once you have created a copy of the original image, open it up in your preferred editing software, like Paint or Photoshop.

Step 3: Rotate the image.

Regardless of which editing tool you opt to use, you should have the option to rotate the image. You can flip the image so it is "right-side-up."

If you are unsure how to rotate an image in the editing tool you are using, you can find a wealth of information by doing a quick Google search! For example, here is a support article from Adobe on how to rotate an image in Photoshop.

Step 4: Save your new image file.

Save the rotated image with a unique name to keep it separate from the original file. If you did not make a copy earlier, you can use 'Save As' to avoid overwriting the original!
