SnapOtter d24e244af4 docs: organize tool pages by modality under /tools/<modality>/
Move all 157 tool pages into image/video/audio/pdf/data subfolders so URLs read /tools/<modality>/<id> (e.g. /tools/image/crop). Nest the image sub-categories under an Image group in the sidebar so the nav reads by modality. Add public/_redirects (301, clean + .html forms) mapping every old flat /tools/<id> URL to its new path so inbound links keep working. Rewrite all internal /tools links. Verified with a clean docs build (no dead links).

Rotate images by any angle and flip horizontally or vertically.

Rotate & Flip

Rotate images by an arbitrary angle and/or flip them horizontally or vertically. Rotation and flip operations can be combined in a single request.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/image/rotate

Accepts multipart form data with an image file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
angle number No 0 Rotation angle in degrees (clockwise). Accepts any numeric value.
horizontal boolean No false Flip the image horizontally (mirror)
vertical boolean No false Flip the image vertically

Example Request

Rotate 90 degrees clockwise:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/rotate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"angle": 90}'

Flip horizontally:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/rotate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"horizontal": true}'

Rotate and flip together:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/rotate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"angle": 45, "vertical": true}'

}

Notes

  • Rotation is applied first, then flip operations.
  • Non-90-degree rotations (e.g. 45 degrees) will enlarge the canvas to fit the rotated image, with transparent or black fill depending on the output format.
  • Common values: 90, 180, 270 for quarter-turn rotations.
  • EXIF orientation is auto-applied before processing, so the rotation is relative to the visual orientation.
