Unfortunately, you can't directly rotate an image within Google Images search itself. Google Images is a search engine for images, not an image editor. You can't edit the image using Google Images.
However, after finding an image on Google Images, you can typically visit the website where the image is hosted and, if you have the ability to download it, you can then use a separate image editing program or app on your device to rotate the image. Here's a general outline of how that would work:
- Find your image using Google Images: Perform your search as normal and find the image you want.
- Visit the source website: Click on the image. This will usually take you to the webpage where the image is published.
- Download the image (if possible): Look for a download button or right-click (or long-press on mobile) on the image and select "Save image as..." to save it to your device. Note: You may not always be able to download an image, as some websites restrict this.
- Use an image editor: Open the image in an image editing program on your computer (like Photoshop, GIMP, Paint, etc.) or a photo editing app on your phone or tablet (like Google Photos, Snapseed, etc.).
- Rotate the image: Use the rotate function within the image editor to rotate the image to your desired orientation. Most editors have a rotate icon or a rotate option in the menu.
- Save the rotated image: Save the edited image to your device.
Example: Using Google Photos to Rotate an Image
If you've downloaded the image to your phone and it's backed up to Google Photos:
- Open the Google Photos app.
- Find the image you want to rotate.
- Tap the "Edit" icon (usually three horizontal lines with dials).
- Look for a "Crop" or "Rotate" option.
- Use the rotate tool to rotate the image.
- Tap "Save copy" to save the rotated version without altering the original.
Therefore, while Google Images facilitates finding images, any rotation or editing requires separate tools and downloading the image.
