Before you start

Log in to your account at Ribbet.com and open Studio Editor.
Add the photos you want to rotate or flip to your project. You can work on up to 100 photos in one session.
Photos stay at full resolution, so turning or flipping them doesn't reduce quality.

Steps

1. Open the Rotate panel

In the left menu, click Tools, then click Rotate. The panel opens with four buttons: flip vertically, flip horizontally, rotate 90° counterclockwise and rotate 90° clockwise.

2. Select the photos to change

Rotate and flip apply only to selected photos. Choose whichever way suits you:

A range of photos: click the first photo, hold Shift, then click the last photo. Everything in between is selected.
Individual photos: hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click each photo you want.
Every photo: click the select all (hand) icon at the top of the project panel, or Shift-click the first and last photo.

You can also click the thumbnails in the project panel on the right instead of the photos on the canvas.

Selecting a row of photos by clicking the first one, holding Shift and clicking the last; the selected photos are outlined in blue.

3. Flip or rotate

Click the button for the change you want. It's applied to every selected photo at once. To turn every photo in the project the same way, select them all first, then click the button.

Selecting every photo in the project, then clicking rotate clockwise twice to turn them all 90° and then 180°.

4. Reorder photos (optional)

If you added your photos in no particular order, drag the thumbnails in the project panel to group the ones that need the same change. This makes Shift-selecting a range quicker. You don't have to reorder: Cmd or Ctrl-click works on photos anywhere in the project.

5. Export or save your work

To download your photos, click Export in the top bar. In the Export Project window, choose the photos, format and quality, then click Export Selected. Files are saved to your Downloads folder by default.

Tips

You're always editing what's selected. Check which photos are highlighted in blue before you click a button.
Both rotate buttons turn photos in 90° steps: rotate clockwise turns them to the right, rotate counterclockwise to the left. Click either button once for 90°, twice for 180°, or three times for 270°.

Nothing changed when I clicked a button	No photos are selected. Select at least one photo, then click the button again.
The wrong photos were rotated	Click Undo, check your selection, then try again.
Shift-click selected more photos than I wanted	Shift selects every photo between the first and last click. Use Cmd or Ctrl-click to pick individual photos instead.
