(Updated for the new Blogger interface)
For a long time now, I have struggled with the fact that you can't rotate pictures in Blogger. Sometimes my pictures would show up turned to the side for no reason and nothing I have tried would work. So in the past I would either leave out that photo or crop it and try uploading it again.

| Oh No! |
1. Upload the pictures in blogger like you normally would. When you see that they will be crooked, do not add them to your post yet.
2. Go to your Picasa Web Album. The easiest way to do this is to go to https://picasaweb.google.com/home. If you are signed into your google/gmail/blogger account, then you will already be signed into Picasa Web and all of the pictures you have ever uploaded to your blog will be sitting there waiting for you.
3. Find the picture you want to rotate. Click on it. Now above the picture there is a button that says Actions. Click on it, a menu will scroll down, and then choose the option Edit in Creative Kit.
4. Rotate the picture. Save to your album. Choose the option to replace the picture.
(Sometimes the picture is already right side up at this point. Who knows why that is. If that is the case make some small change to the picture or rotate it and then rotate it back so that you can save the new right-side-up picture)
5. Now go back to your post. Click on INSERT IMAGE. On the left choose to add image from Picasa Web Album. At first the thumbnails still seemed to be sideways, but when I added the pictures to my blog they were right side up.
Thank you for the tips. This happens to me all the time so this is so nice to know. Thank you so much for sharing and for linking up to Show and Share #2. I hope you are having fun at the party :)

I can't seem to find my picasa web album under the tools and ressources !
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing! :) it was of great help to me, :)
ReplyDeleteThanks it worked for me! I had originally used Picnik, when I normally use Photoshop, so I wonder if the whole Picnik thing was the problem...?
ReplyDeleteIt worked! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for this post, it was really helpful!
ReplyDeleteThanks this was so helpful. Picasa is a great tool. I don't have sideways photos anymore!

: )
Oh my God thank you so much! I tried to upload the pics for 10 times... I open them in computer and it's all right, but when uploading... Oh you rescued my blog! <3 Thank you...

Thank you so much - I googled for help and your blog post came up :-) I had no idea my pics were in a picasa web album haha. I put a link on my post today to your post.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Oh my gosh thank you! You have brought me out of the depths of despair!
ReplyDeletewww.annalowery.blogspot.com
Wow, what a pain! Major "minus" for blogger. Thanks for clearing this up for me!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so mauch for helping me rotate pictures! Usually I use Live Writer, but this time I was going to add a photo in an existing post, and this problem came. I had to open the picture by clicking "Edit in Creative Kit" under "Actions". When I opened the Creative Kit, the picture wasn't wrong way any more, but then I rotated it to the side and then back up again, and I was able to save. After this, I did as you wrote, and it worked! Again, thank you so much!

Hi, I tried what you said to do but it I couldnt see the edit button etc but I've played around with it and got it sorted, I don't think I read your instructions properly, or missunderstood maybe, anyway, Ive now managed to rotate the pics successfully so thank you ever so much for taking the time to find out how to do it and share that knowledge with the rest of us, what a performance!! the only other thing I can't figure out is how do I get my pics from my pics to picassa????? HELP!!
ReplyDeletemany many thanks
Sandie xx
Thanks for reminding me Annwes and Sandie. Picnik recently went away and I needed to update my tutorial for the new way (which I did). Click on actions then edit in creative kit.
DeleteThere are 2 ways to get your pictures from your computer to picasa.
1. Whenever you upload a picture on blogger, whether or not you end out using that picture in a post, it automatically is uploaded to your picasa web album.
2. Go to your picasa web album. Near the top of the page there is a button that says UPLOAD. Click on it and continue to add pictures from your computer.
I hope this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you! This helps a lot! I just started my own blog and was having trouble rotating the pics!
ReplyDeletegood tip, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis saved me! I'm so glad I found it. Thanks for taking the time to share the info!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have saved me! I cropped my image like 50 times and tried uploading it again and again and it would not work! Your tutorial got me out of a possible break down since I really needed to complete this post! Thank you sooooo much! :) New follower!

ReplyDeleteJust ran across this, and it was exactly what I needed! I was feeling so frustrated with my sideways photos :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks that's a great help
ReplyDeleteThank you for the picture flipping tip! I was getting so frustrated uploading, deleting, uploading, blah blah blah. You are a genius! I never knew that my pictures were automatically stored in the picasso place! Thanks, again!
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that to perform a seemingly simple task Blogger makes you take a roundabout way of executing it. Thanks for the step-by-step, it was very helpful, as I have a photo blog and upload pics right from my SD card.
ReplyDeleteYou saved me!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank You Thank You Thank YOU!!

ReplyDeleteAh, everyone can do it bar me!!! Im in the picaso web image area, but cannot find the 'Action' button. When i click on the image, it simply puts the select blue box around the image. I'm still unable to rotate! this is crazy. I'm sure there is a way! Any insight greatly appreciated. thanks , Karen
ReplyDeleteOMG THANK YOU!

A year since this post was made and it's still helping people, good work.
ReplyDeleteBad work by Google though, why on Earth auto-rotate photos with no way to cancel it from the upload page?
thanks so much that helped a lot!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was awesome and saved my butt. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteCute and lovely little girl. Thank you for sharing such information.
