Can Flickr rotate my photos automatically?
Yes, but only in some cases. A lot of digital cameras store information about the orientation of the camera when the photo was taken. If your camera uses EXIF, this information is stored as “EXIF orientation” in the EXIF data, which is uploaded to Flickr with your photo. We can use this data to rotate your photos as they’re uploaded. If you want us to rotate your photos, set your preference here. Note: We won’t rotate the original photo file. To preserve photo quality, we never modify the original.
