About This Feature

Overview

Rotate Image is a built-in picture adjustment feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It is used to change picture angle, flip direction, and visual orientation in a slide.

Core capabilities include:

  • Free rotation: drag the rotation handle above a selected picture to adjust its angle quickly.
  • Preset rotation and flip: use rotation commands in the Picture Tools tab or the Home tab to rotate 90 degrees or flip horizontally and vertically.
  • Precise angle setting: enter a specific angle in Size & Properties for more consistent layout control.
  • Rotate all pictures: open the batch toolbox to manage picture rotation across the presentation.

Common use cases include courseware layout, product demos, poster-style slides, and picture orientation correction.

Overall Conclusion
