Fix Image Rotation plugin fixes image orientation based on EXIF data. Fixes the mis-oriented images clicked via mobile phones.
Functionally it filters all uploads and if EXIF->Orientation is set to a number greater than 1, then the image is re-saved with a new orientation before the image is processed by WordPress.
Though this functionality was implemented in WordPress 5.3, it is still broken in WordPress and does not take care of edge cases that this plugin handles

Doesn’t work with WP 6.4.2
Our website is a multi user platform. Some users was complaining there images was uploading upside down. Thats with the latest version of wordpress installed. This plugin fixed that problem.
Thank you
This is a great time-saving plugin. Sincere thanks to the author for handling a nagging issue inherent in WordPress. Very nice.
Honestly for any free plugin to work 90% of the time out of the box is enough for me. No, it’s not perfect but it’s free. I have seen paid plugins with more issues.
A big thanks to the developer for saving me a headache. 5 stars from me.
Installed, never worked even on the first try.
