How do I change the angle of a rectangle in Photoshop?

Published in Photoshop Editing 1 min read

To change the angle of a rectangle in Photoshop, you can use the Free Transform tool. Here's how:

  1. Select the layer containing the rectangle you want to rotate.
  2. Press Ctrl+T (Windows) or Cmd+T (Mac) to activate the Free Transform tool. This will place a bounding box around your rectangle.
  3. Look for the angle icon (often represented by a rotation symbol or a numerical field labeled "Angle") in the options bar at the top of the Photoshop window.
  4. Enter the desired rotation angle in the angle field. Positive values rotate clockwise, and negative values rotate counter-clockwise. Alternatively, you can hover your cursor just outside one of the corner handles of the bounding box; the cursor will change to a curved arrow. Click and drag to rotate the rectangle visually.
  5. Press Enter to apply the transformation.
