Rotating an image with orientation specified in EXIF using Python without PIL including the thumbnail

Question

I have the following scenario:

• I am sending an image from iPhone along with the EXIF information to my Pyhon socket server.
• I need the image to be pro

Answer 1

Pretty much the same answer than @scabbiaza, but using transpose instead of rotate (for performance purposes).

from PIL import Image, ExifTags

try:
    image=Image.open(filepath)
    for orientation in ExifTags.TAGS.keys():
        if ExifTags.TAGS[orientation]=='Orientation':
            break
    exif=dict(image._getexif().items())

    if exif[orientation] == 3:
        image=image.transpose(Image.ROTATE_180)
    elif exif[orientation] == 6:
        image=image.transpose(Image.ROTATE_270)
    elif exif[orientation] == 8:
        image=image.transpose(Image.ROTATE_90)
    image.save(filepath)
    image.close()

except (AttributeError, KeyError, IndexError):
    # cases: image don't have getexif
    pass
