I have seen several of my image posts (and several other posters pictures) become turned sideways after posting even though the image is right side up before posting. How do I ensure my image won’t get rotated once posted?

    When you rotate an image in your phone or on your computer (by right-clicking or going into the image options and selecting “Rotate Right” or w/e), the device is not editing the image to rotate it 90 degrees. It’s just adding a little metadata tag that tells devices loading the image “display this, but rotate it 90 degrees”.

    That depends on the software you’re using. Some edit metadata, some rotate the image itself.
