Images rotated when uploading from iphone

How to rotate images

I’m a newbie to Write.as but I’ve searched the forum and not found an answer to this one. When I upload photos to Snap.as and then copy them into my blog they are often rotated. Especially photos taken in portrait, are laid on their side … but it also looks as if landscape pictures I take with my phone ‘the wrong way round’ (what?) are rendered upside down. Is there a way of rotating images in my blog post so they are correctly rendered?

In essence, the problem is that when photos are taken on a phone and uploaded to snap.as, these images are rotated on upload. This can be worked around by cropping the images on the phone before uploading them.

I’m bumping this issue because unless this issue gets fixed, snap.as is going to be useless for me.

Heart the post if you also want to see this issue resolved.

I found a solution I was okay with.

So when the images has been uploaded to the desktop, I open them in gimp (v2.8.22). Then gimp will ask to rotate image. Press yes. Then go to file and “export as imagename.JPG”.

Any solution for a mobile phone? I am having this issue and I haven’t found a way to fix this from the supply side yet.
