Orientation
Image Orientation Metadata on Mac
Orientation tags tell viewers how to rotate pixels. Wrong or missing tags cause sideways galleries and print errors.
Apps are available exclusively on the Mac App Store.
Inspect Orientation before batch resizing, CMS upload, or print. Some tools bake rotation into pixels; others only flip the tag.
Mac-native checks prevent silent display bugs after round-trips between phones, Lightroom, and web exporters.
