JS Client-Side Exif Orientation: Rotate and Mirror JPEG Images

Question

Digital camera photos are often saved as JPEG with an EXIF \"orientation\" tag. To display correctly, images need to be rotated/mirrored depending on which orientation is se

Answer 1

The github project JavaScript-Load-Image provides a complete solution to the EXIF orientation problem, correctly rotating/mirroring images for all 8 exif orientations. See the online demo of javascript exif orientation

The image is drawn onto an HTML5 canvas. Its correct rendering is implemented in js/load-image-orientation.js through canvas operations.

Hope this saves somebody else some time, and teaches the search engines about this open source gem :)
