Smart Photo Auto-Rotate is a Windows desktop utility that automatically detects and corrects sideways and upside-down photos across an entire folder. It’s especially useful for scanned photos that lack reliable EXIF orientation data. Each image is analyzed individually, confident rotations are corrected automatically, and uncertain photos are left unchanged for review. JPEG rotation is performed with no quality loss, and all processing stays on your computer.

Could you build this?
Partial Batch image processing is simple, but accurately detecting photo orientation without EXIF data requires integrating a computer vision model trained on upright orientation.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Windows desktop app (C# / .NET or Electron) executing local image batching via libraries like OpenCV and a lightweight image orientation classification model (such as a MobileNet/ResNet fine-tuned to classify 0, 90, 180, 270 degree rotation). The primary challenge is packing the inference runtime locally to process high-resolution scans rapidly without internet access.
