Looking at the exiftool data, it reports Orientation = 6, which is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and needs 90 degrees clockwise rotation to appear correct. Of course, it's unusual that a Google format would be correct in exiftool and not in Google's own ExifInterface library. I see it's also not handling the rotation as I would expect in Chrome.

For context, I found this because I got a bug report about a similar issue with an upside down photo on a Samsung Galaxy S10 and managed to reproduce the problem as a sideways WEBP on an S22 Ultra. I can supply more pictures from different Samsung models exhibiting this same problem if that would be useful.

Will anyone please take a look at this bug? It appears on many, very common devices and results in mis-rotated images.

Hi,

I can confirm there is an issue with the WebP exif reading implementation. I ran into the same issue when retrieving WebP images from the Amazon's Serverless Image Handler. Initially I thought it was a bug in the library I'm using (Coil) but found out it wasn't the case.

I have a bugfix available for the issue and am preparing a PR (that will be submitted via Gerrit).

Validated with my own images (a yellow sticky note captured at all 4 orientations) + the one from the google repo + the one from the topic starter.

Note: The bottom left image is a google webp without exif, the bottom right image is a google webp with exif

Note 2: It's also broken in Chrome & Firefox but works correctly on Safari/Finder on MacOS. I might submit bugfixes for those too.
