Image rotation after upload

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the ability to rotate an uploaded image within the Discourse application. EmilyJane requested this feature to make it easier for users to correct the orientation of images, particularly in forums where users often post photographs of hand-drawn schematics. Moin suggested installing the Image Annotator theme component, which allows admins to enable image editing features, including rotation. EmilyJane found this solution suitable and plans to pass it along to the Arduino forum administrators.

Is it possible for the post creator to rotate an uploaded image within the Discourse application?

Perhaps in the same way that they can change the size with the

buttons.

In the Arduino Forum, users frequently post photographs of hand-drawn schematics that are in the portrait orientation, e.g., when they would be easier to read in the landscape orientation. How to edit the post to correct the orientation might be easier to explain to the user than explaining how to change it in another application or explaining how to create the photo in the correct orientation in the first place.

Hey @EmilyJane
Welcome to Meta!

There is a Customization > Theme component that admins can install that makes this possible

That sounds like just the thing needed. I’ll pass that along to the people at the Arduino forum and see what happens.

Thank you for the quick response.
