Syntax
Values
none
Does not apply any additional image rotation; the image is oriented as encoded or as other CSS property values dictate.
from-image
Default initial value. The EXIF information contained in the image is used to rotate the image appropriately.
Description
This property is intended only to be used for the purpose of correcting the orientation of images which were shot with the camera rotated. It should not be used for arbitrary rotations. For any purpose other than correcting an image's orientation due to how it was shot or scanned, use a transform
property with the rotate
keyword to specify rotation. This includes any user-directed changes to the orientation of the image, or changes required for printing in portrait versus landscape orientation.
If used in conjunction with other CSS properties, such as a <transform-function>
, any image-orientation
rotation is applied before any other transformations.

Examples
Orienting image from image data
The following image has been rotated through 180 degrees, and the image-orientation
property is used to correct its orientation based on the EXIF data in the image. By changing the image-orientation
to none
you can see the effect of the property.
#image { image-orientation: from-image; /* Can be changed in the live sample */ }
