IrfanView Rotate

IrfanView Rotate is an easy-to-use software application that uses the lossless rotation feature in IrfanView to change the orientation of JPG images by taking into account their EXIF information. It features intuitive options for users looking for a straightforward tool to accomplish this task.

No setup necessary, besides IrfanView

As long as you have IrfanView installed, you don't need to set up anything else. You can save the downloaded files in any part of the hard disk or copy them on a USB flash drive, in order to launch the utility on any computer with minimum effort.
It doesn't make any modifications to the Windows registry, so it doesn't increase the risk of OS stability issues. The location to IrfanView's executable file must be specified at startup via a file browser, and it can be later changed from the main app window.

Simple interface for rotating JPEGs

IrfanView Rotate is wrapped in a user-friendly interface made from a single window that shows all options provided by this program. All you have to do is drop JPEG files into the dedicated area to view them with their actual orientation using EXIF data, including the file name.
Batch processing is supported, which means that you can drop multiple JPEGs at the same time to rotate them automatically. The main window stays on top of other processes by default, but this can be disabled.
It's also possible to drop a folder containing JPEG pictures, as well as to preview the previous, next, first or last rotated file in the directory using buttons or the key arrows.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and the app didn't hang or crash. It used a low amount of CPU and RAM. To sum it up, IrfanView Rotate offers a simple solution for rotating JPG images using EXIF information.
