SummaryEdit
The image-orientation CSS property describes how to correct the default orientation of an image.
Note:
- This property is not intended to perform arbitrary rotation on an image, but to correct erroneous orientation. That's why it is rounded to the nearest quarter of a turn.
- Similarly this property is not intended to handle the layout -> portrait changing. As
image-orientationaffects only images, it won't work: the changes must happen at the layout-level.
| Initial value | 0deg |
|---|---|
| Applies to | all elements |
| Inherited | yes |
| Media | visual |
| Computed value | an <angle>, rounded to the next quarter turn from 0deg and normalized, that is moduloing the value by 1turn |
| Animatable | no |
| Canonical order | the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar |
SyntaxEdit
image-orientation: 0deg;
image-orientation: 6.4deg; /* Rounded to 0deg */
image-orientation: -90deg; /* Equivalent to 270deg, its normalized computed value */
image-orientation: from-image; /* Use EXIF data from the image */
image-orientation: 90deg flip; /* Rotate 90deg, and flip it horizontally */
image-orientation: flip; /* No rotation, only applies a horizontal flip */
/* Global values */
image-orientation: inherit;
image-orientation: initial;
image-orientation: unset;Values
from-image- The EXIF information contained in the image will be used to rotate the image appropriately.
<angle>- The
<angle>of rotation to apply to the image. It is rounded to the nearest90deg(0.25turn). flip- The image is flipped horizontally, that is reflected, after the rotation given by the
<angle>value. If no<angle>is given,0degis used.
