This is a Safari issue, but this has implications for how images are presented on GOV.UK.
Safari on both macOS and mobile platforms, as of 2026, doesn't support extended attributes for PNG files - and this includes image orientation.

One of the images used relies on metadata for orientation. This works in Gecko and Chrome, but not WebKit.
