WP_Image_Editor_Imagick::maybe_exif_rotate() │ public │ WP 5.3.0

Check if a JPEG image has EXIF Orientation tag and rotate it if needed.

As ImageMagick copies the EXIF data to the flipped/rotated image, proceed only if EXIF Orientation can be reset afterwards.

Method of the class: WP_Image_Editor_Imagick{}

No Hooks.

Return

true|false|WP_Error. True if the image was rotated. False if no EXIF data or if the image doesn't need rotation. WP_Error if error while rotating.

Usage

$WP_Image_Editor_Imagick = new WP_Image_Editor_Imagick();
$WP_Image_Editor_Imagick->maybe_exif_rotate();
