Laravel is rotating the image when uploaded

Question

I am developing a web application that involves the feature of uploading image to server. I am using Laravel. The problem is when I upload a photo, Laravel is rotating the image.

This is my code to upload image file.

$request->file('image_file')->store('images');

Just one line of code for uploading the image.

I uploaded this image.

Then, the photo is rotated on the server and becomes like this. I display the image in the HTML tag.

So, what is wrong. How can I stop the photo from being rotated?

Answer 1

This happen when you capture the image with Mobile camera.

you can see the image data using exif_read_data()

But if you want to store it in an orignal way you can use intervention/image package.

and use orientate() to change it. Here is an example

$img = \Image::make($request->file('image_file')->getRealpath());
$img->orientate();

But if you dont want to use the Package you can try

$exif = exif_read_data($request->file('image_file'));
if(!empty($exif['Orientation'])) {
    switch($exif['Orientation']) {
        case 8:
            $image = imagerotate($image,90,0);
            break;
        case 3:
            $image = imagerotate($image,180,0);
            break;
        case 6:
            $image = imagerotate($image,-90,0);
            break;
    }
}

Hope this helps.
