# Rotate and Flip Images | Website Manual

**Rotate and Flip Images**

Photos from a phone sometimes arrive sideways or upside down, depending on how the phone saved them.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Photos from a phone sometimes arrive sideways or upside down, depending on how the phone saved them. The rotate and flip tools in the WordPress image editor fix that without uploading the photo again.

Flipping mirrors the image, so avoid it on photos with signs, text or a logo, which would read backwards.

### You needed to change one thing. Now you are learning the editor again.

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
