Rotate Image

Rotate an image by an arbitrary angle in degrees using the Sharp library.

When to use

• Fix orientation — correct portrait photos taken sideways (90°, 180°, 270°).
• Creative angle — apply non-orthogonal rotations (e.g. 15°) for design compositions.
• Normalize EXIF orientation — rotate and strip EXIF so all consumers see the same orientation.

Inputs & outputs

Input modality	Image file (URL)
Output modality	Image file (GCS URL)
Max input size	50 MB
Supported formats	JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, AVIF

Parameters

Param	Required	Description
angle	yes	Rotation angle in degrees. Positive = clockwise. Any number accepted (e.g. 45, -30, 270).
background	no	Hex colour to fill exposed corners after rotation (e.g. #ffffff). Defaults to transparent for PNG, black for JPEG.

Examples

90° clockwise rotation

{
  "type": "image.rotate",
  "input": { "image_url": "gs://infery-prod-media/photos/sideways.jpg" },
  "params": { "angle": 90 }
}

15° tilt with white background fill

{
  "type": "image.rotate",
  "input": { "image_url": "gs://infery-prod-media/photos/product.png" },
  "params": { "angle": 15, "background": "#ffffff" }
}

Pricing

Billed per megapixel of output image. See pricing dashboard for current rates.
