I have noticed that users who upload their images from iPad or iPhone have their images sometimes rotated in odd directions. I am not a Drupal guru and I generally find that documentation on drupal "how to" is ..well.. scarce,,

I have spent some time looking into this and did not find anything that would effectively help me.

What I would like to accomplish seems simple in principle but I need help.

Rather then forcing users to rotate images (they find that to be clunky and awkward I have an average user who is interested solely to have things happen simply and without hassle) I would like to have ALL my images on the site checked for orientation and have them automatically display the images in proper orientation.

I came across a module called Imagecache Actions and it is supposed to have Autorotate capability but I have no clue on how to use it for what I need.

ALL help would be greatly appreciated!

The -auto-orient operator is part of the ImageMagick image processing toolkit, to select the correct orientation of an image based on its EXIF data. Have a look at How to detect shot angle of photo ... for a more complete explanation.

The ImageMagick module integrates this function in Drupal, but they are still having an issue with autorotation. A recent patch is available there.

Your best bet is to try it out and see if it corrects your problem.

  • I can't use imagemagick (server side limitatons). ImageCache Autorotate does rotate non apple device images Apple device images do not contain exif information so Autorotate does not work. Commented Jun 28, 2013 at 13:47
