Cloudmersive Image Processing API: How to Rotate an Image using Go
Easily adjust the angle of an image by defining an arbitrary degree of rotation (0.0–360.0). This API will support common file formats like PNG & JPEG, and can be implemented into your Go project with the code examples included below in this article.
First, you’ll need an API key — you can easily get one by creating a free account on our website (www.cloudmersive.com). A free account will grant a limit of 800 API calls per month, with access to all Cloudmersive APIs on the Cloudmersive API Console.
