To rotate an image for a post, it's essential to use a local photo editor, like Microsoft Paint, to ensure the rotation is applied correctly. Users have reported issues with images not appearing rotated after uploading, often due to browser cache or metadata not reflecting the changes. Clearing the cache can help, but it may also remove cookies, leading to inconvenience. Some browsers allow for a cache bypass without clearing cookies by holding down the shift key while reloading the page. Ultimately, ensuring the image is rotated and saved correctly before uploading is crucial for proper display.

I have run into it when I made DVDs for use by DVD player slideshows. The slideshow looked fine on the computer, but I had to look at each photo in a DVD player to see what it really would look like there. There were hundreds (on many DVDs) that had to be rotated without relying on the metadata.
Yeah. I can see a DVD player as an exception.

I agree with @berkeman here − it's easy enough in MS Paint:

original angle:View attachment 273238

(reduced in size and) rotated 90° to the right:View attachment 273239

and there are online image processors that allow whichever degrees of rotation (at https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/rotate-image-360.php I chose 45 degrees)

That image is (reportedly − I don't have a to-me-reliable source, but I don't disbelieve it) of two bullets that were recovered after the battle at Gallipoli.

That's also a (silly?) way to keep the PF XenForo software from effectively rounding off the corners of the image.
In the museums in Gallipoli there are baskets with many such bullets embedded in each other.

Also, there is some magic thing called "clearing your cache", but each time I try to resort to that, it clears my cookies for lots of websites. I'm kind of a klutz at that...
You can force a cache bypass in most browsers (but not Edge) by holding down the shift key and selecting the reload icon; this will not clear any cookies or other local storage.

Also, In Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE, and some other browsers, Ctrl F5 reloads a non-cached version of the page (aka force refresh) -- it sends a 'cache-control: no-cache' http header directive to the server along with the reload page request . . .
