Hi @hejamartin,

Thanks for the post.

I would recommend you make use of the PHP function imagerotate() to rotate the image and then save back the rotated image as a new file.

The code would look like so:

//define image path
$filename="image.jpg";

// Load the image
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);

// Rotate
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $degrees, 0);

//and save it on your server...
file_put_contents("myNEWimage.jpg",$rotate);

For loading the newly created image, you can make use of the acf/load_field filter after storing the image object in a $variable.
