CNET Editors' review
Digital camera owners typically use image-editing software to rotate their JPEGs for proper display. Unfortunately, many image editors are "lossy," which means they decode and recode JPEG files as they are rotated, with a slight but inevitable loss of image quality. JPEG Lossless Rotator is a small, simple, yet effective bit of freeware that will rotate your JPEGs without decoding them, preserving the image quality, or, if the image can't be rotated without losing some pixels, it will ask you if you still want to rotate the image and tell you what it costs in pixels. JPEG Lossless Rotator uses a special block transformation to enable lossless image rotation. It also performs batch rotations and displays EXIF data.
JPEG Lossless Rotator is small and very easy to use, as is befitting a program designed to do pretty much one thing very well. The interface is clean and sparse, with a few basic icons and search and browse features. Selecting a folder generates thumbnails in the main window. You simply highlight a thumbnail and either right-click to display your image rotation options or use the controls on the toolbar to rotate your image right, left, or 180 degrees.
JPEG Lossless Rotator is a worthy bit of freeware and a sure keeper if you take a lot of digital pictures and care about the quality of the images you capture and save. The maker recommends testing the program out on a few unneeded files first, since apparently there are a few camera models that aren't compatible with it.

Easy to install, very easy to use. Simple and neat interface, nothing cluttering. Does the job quickly, saves me a lot of time and a lot of clicking (I take a lot of photos). For a FREEBIE, it's a very good program!

"Works for me"
Version: JPEG Lossless Rotator 5
Pros
Does what it says. I needed to rotate 87 pictures 90 degrees CCW, and all I did was select the files, amongst a bunch that didn't need rotating, and right-clicked to select the rotation.
Sure beat using Windows in Filmstrip Mode to change each one individually, and maintaining the integrity of the images was a bonus.
I use Fireworks a lot, and could have written a batch process for this, but it would take longer to run the script each time than it did to run this program.
It's small, easy to install, and intuitive enough for me. No bells and whistles...justs rotates. If you need variable rotatiing (Not on the 180/90 axes), then you shouldn't be looking for a free program to get the job done.
I'm satisfied, and would pay $19.99 just for the convenience this program provides.

"Dumb, But does what it says"
Version: JPEG Lossless Rotator 4
Pros
Shell integration. Rotate the pics in +/- 90 and 180 degrees in one click.
Cons
The program can't rotate at an angle other than the multiple of 90 degrees! Pics are softened in thumbnail view.
