How to Change an Image’s Orientation on Shopify

First thing, login to your Shopify store.

Then head to your ‘Files’ page on the Shopify dashboard. This is located within the ‘Settings’ option. The ‘Files’ section is within the second column.

Now select the image that you would like to change the orientation for. When you’ve clicked on the image, a full size version of the image will appear on the screen. There is an edit button that appears below the image. You need to click on this.

After clicking on the ‘Edit’ button, you will see options available for editing. You need to click on the ‘Orientation’ option to enable changes to how the image is displayed.

Now on the top bar of the Photo Editor, there are two types of orientation options. The first is rotate, where you can rotate the image clockwise (arrow to the right) or anti-clockwise (arrow to the left). Alternatively, you can tell the editor suite to flip the image. This can be done vertically or horizontally. This can be a quick way to make changes to your image.

Or, you can hold and drag the arrow that is located above the photo and tilt the image left or right within the frame. If there are any parts of the photo that appear within the black zone, they will be cropped from the image. Therefore, be sure that you would like to make this change, it can make a significant different to the look of photo and customers do tend to judge your professionalism based on the images (as well as other elements) that are on your screen.

Click on apply to make the changes to your image.

Now you can click on the ‘Save’ option. This makes all the changes that you’ve made to the image permanent. Otherwise the changes will be lost.
