I don’t know why it keeps posting pics on its side

    Hexbear strips out exif data, including rotation, in an effort to make it less trivial to doxx anyone that uploads a photo. Many cameras and image editing softwares will just use exif rotation data rather than actually remapping the pixels to be the right way up, because it's computationally easier. When hexbear strips out the exif data, it also strips out that rotation data, resulting in sideways or upside down images.

        If you're on Android, the simple gallery app on f-droid actually rotates the image. I just rotate it forward, then save, then backwards and save again.

        Yep! Cropping an image will work, as it does mean that the file would actually need to have core attributes changed, so your image editor will actually create a new file instead of just adding the instruction telling image viewers to just display it turned.
