Accessing JPEG EXIF rotation data in JavaScript on the client side

Question

I\'d like to rotate photos based on their original rotation, as set by the camera in JPEG EXIF image data. The trick is that all this should happen in the browser, using Jav

Answer 1

Firefox 26 supports image-orientation: from-image: images are displayed portrait or landscape, depending on EXIF data. (See sethfowler.org/blog/2013/09/13/new-in-firefox-26-css-image-orientation.)

There is also a bug to implement this in Chrome.

Beware that this property is only supported by Firefox and is likely to be deprecated.
