Why is my profile picture upside down?

Webmaster4o

It was right side up before I uploaded. Got flipped after uploading.

I think is is a nice look... You should just leave it the way that it is.

Ok :)

Possibly the image has rotation data stored both in the pixel data and in the metadata. What I mean is that e. g. the image's pixel grid was rotated by 90°, and there is also a metadata field saying "also rotate this image by 90°", so in the end your image is rotated by 180°. Why that would happen in the case of an upright image like yours, I have no idea.

(By the way, I saw your picture before I looked at this thread, and I totally thought it was intentional. xD)

Tried rotating 180° and uploading that, still didn't fix it. I guess I'm happy with it.

@Webmaster4o , lol... You still win. Still young. I wish I was young guy. But please enjoy every moment of being young. I Am ok for being an old guy. But the brain, not so sharp anymore 😱 But I didn't have your education which I really envy.
But regardless, it's been a pleasure to see how fast you have flourished here. When you are rich and famous I hope you remember us 🎉🤐
