A horizon that's off by two degrees is enough to make a photo feel wrong. Rotating fixes it but leaves empty triangles in the corners. This tool rotates in steps of a tenth of a degree and crops to the largest clean rectangle, so no corners show.
A grid is drawn over the picture while you work. Line up the horizon, a building edge or a door frame with it. If you'd rather keep the whole image, switch cropping off and choose a fill color.
How to use the Straighten Image tool
- Choose a photo.
- Move the slider until the horizon matches the grid.
- Untick the grid and download the photo.
Popular uses
- Seascapes and landscapes with a tilted horizon
- Photos of buildings, shelves and documents
- Scans that went into the scanner crooked
Tips for the best result
- Use the arrow keys on the slider for single steps of 0.1 degrees.
- More rotation means more cropping. At 5 degrees you lose roughly 15% of the picture.
