Rotate Images in the Finder

Cool Keyboard Shortcut to rotate any image in the Finder

A cool hidden trick in the MacOS Finder is the ability to rotate an image or video without having to open up an application. There are 2 hidden keyboard shortcuts - rotate right and rotate left.

Simple Steps

  1. Select any image or video.
  2. Type in Command R to rotate the file 90-degrees to the right.
  3. You can Command R several times to keep rotating the file.

Note: Using this method will change the modified date of the file, it won't change the Created date.
