If a portrait is rotated clockwise before posting, will it be automatically rotated back counter clockwise to look as I want it?
Lol, nope. Portraits rotate CC, cause f you.
Try an external upload?
The bottom is loaded in with the image picker.
The top is a link with an exclamation point in front of it (copying what the image picker does).
I appreciate the help! I was hoping to avoid using another site. I might have to, though. Do you know if this is a beehaw issue or jerboa?

Solved: Remove exif data from photo before uploading.

Awesome! One more newb query: how do I remove exif data?
Edit: Is there an exif data tool you’d recommend? Apparently my native photo app doesn’t do this.

Hmm. Well, I see how something like ExifEraser makes portraits landscape. But there’s still something I’m missing here.
My phone wouldn’t let me do it either. From an article I skimmed through, the apps that can do this seemed a little sketch and there were reviews about people being unhappy that it needed to be connected to the internet constantly.
Instead, I:
- Uploaded my pic to google photos
- Click on the pic and hit ‘Share’
- ‘Create Link’ (important part)
- Go to link from browser and download that pic (Google will automatically scrub the exif data for you)
You can test the newly downloaded pic and check if the exif data exists by using this site: https://www.metadata2go.com/view-metadata

Yeah, I don’t know if it’s beehaw specifically as I haven’t made another account. I use the PWA so it’s not Jerboa.
From what I’ve seen, most instances are asking not to upload too much and use external. It’s hard not to for the occasional LANDSCAPE one.
Have to check the git issues and see if it’s lemmy-wide.
Ahhh, ok. Thanks!
Had a quick look. Got a hit with “portrait”.
Yeah, that sounds right. Thanks for the link!
I figured it out! Remove the exif data and it won’t auto rotate.
