What are the limitations of rotating images with JavaScript and saving them via Ajax compared to using GD-Lib in PHP?

When rotating images with JavaScript and saving them via Ajax, the main limitation is that the rotation is only applied visually on the client-side and not permanently saved to the image file itself. On the other hand, using GD-Lib in PHP allows you to rotate the image server-side and save the rotated image as a new file, ensuring that the rotation is permanent. 

// Example PHP code using GD-Lib to rotate and save an image
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('image.jpg');
$rotated = imagerotate($image, 90, 0);
imagejpeg($rotated, 'rotated_image.jpg');
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($rotated);
