How do I straighten a crooked photo?

Select your file and nudge the angle slider a few degrees until horizons level out, then export.

What fills the corners after rotation?

The canvas grows to fit the tilted image and empty corners fill with your chosen backdrop color.

Can I rotate more than a few degrees?

Yes, up to 45 degrees either way — enough for straightening and deliberate creative tilts alike.

What file formats can I export?

You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
