Some friends who use iPhone and iPad have recently encountered an inexplicable phenomenon: some (strangely enough, not all) of the pictures they took cannot be rotated freely when copied to the computer!
Originally, in the Win7 Explorer, you could rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, or even in batches, by simply right-clicking. However, now the following prompt often pops up inexplicably: “The image cannot be rotated. The file is in use or has been opened by another program; or the file is read-only” — in fact, there is no other program at all, and the files are not read-only, and there are no problems with permissions. The strange thing is that some can be rotated, but some cannot!
Of course, if you can use some software, such as Photoshop, you can also process them one by one, but it is not fun after all. In the end, you often have to use your head to see it, or simply turn the monitor upside down O(∩_∩)O haha~
Someone recommended a method that works but is a bit cumbersome: download the Format Factory software and batch-transfer the problematic JPG images to another directory. The transfer process acts as a cleanup of the files, allowing you to continue rotating the images. This method is still a bit cumbersome.
Let me introduce a fun little software Stripper, the download address is as follows:

The English introduction is as follows:

The simplest usage is:After downloading and decompressing, open the stripper program and a window will pop up.Go to the resource manager and drag the problematic picture directly into the window.Just click and hold the left mouse button, then drag it to the program window and let go.You can drag multiple items at a time, or drag them one by one, and then click clear.Just wash it clean.
The principle is probably that some information is annotated in the problematic pictures, which leads to such a situation. It seems that they are over-protected. This small software can easily remove the redundant information in JPG.
Interestingly, you can use this applet to completely bypass the pop-up window and directly enter the DOS window stripper
The *.jpg files in the target directory can be quickly obtained.
It’s rare to have such a small and easy-to-use software. Just play it and have fun. ^_^
