Why did my image get bigger after rotating?

A tilted picture needs a larger canvas to fit its corners, so width and height grow.

How do I remove the empty corners?

Use the Crop image tool on Utilorca and crop inside the tilted photo.

Does a small angle lower quality?

Any angle other than 90° or 180° recomputes pixels, which can soften fine detail slightly.

Rotate Image by Any Angle Online

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Drag the angle slider above to the exact degree you need, such as 45° or a 2° fix for a crooked horizon. The canvas grows so no corner is cut: in PNG the new corners stay transparent, in JPG they are filled with the color you choose. Crop afterwards if you want a clean rectangle.
