Laravel Image Intervention avoid rotation

Question

I'm uploading an iPhone image - taken by iPhone camera in vertical - with the dimensions of 2448x3264 and because this dimensions are so high (?) when I create a thumb of 600x360 it automatically rotates to horizontal.

What have I tried without any success:

Change the thumb dimensions
Use the fit function
Use the resize function
Use the crop function
Use the upsize and aspectRatio methods
Set only the height and use null on width
Set only the width and use null on height

The thumb must have a maximum of height of 360 and I'm ok if the width is not 600.

$imageResize = Image::make($originalFile);
$imageResize->fit(600, 360, function ($constraint)
{
    $constraint->upsize();
});
$imageResize->save($thumbPath);

My goal is to have:

Thumbnails in vertical if the original photo is vertical
Thumbnails in horizontal if the original photo is horizontal

How can I achieve this?

Upon saving, is the original file in its original rotation? So if you manually went to the location, the file is in the correct rotation at it's default dimensions?

@swonder yes, the original image is saved with the default rotation/dimensions. — Linesofcode, Jun 10 '19 at 14:09
Could you take a look at [this github issue](https://github.com/Intervention/image/issues/461) as it seems to run inline with your question. It could be due to the `fit()` function. — , Jun 10 '19 at 14:12
@swonder the `orientate` method solved, would you like to set up as an answer so I can accept? — Linesofcode, Jun 10 '19 at 14:12

As spoke before, the image is being saved in its correct orientation and at the point of resizing you are running the fit() function on which I was able to find some information on this issue running along side that which suggests you need to use orientate() with fit.

An example here:

$imageResize = Image::make($originalFile);
$imageResize->orientate()
->fit(600, 360, function ($constraint) {
    $constraint->upsize();
})
->save($thumbPath);

I'm glad this helped.

According to this github issue you may need to run orientate() before fit():

$imageResize = Image::make($originalFile)
    ->orientate()
    ->fit(600, 360, function ($constraint) {
        $constraint->upsize();
    })
    ->save($thumbPath);

$img = Image::make($originalFile);

$img->orientate();
$img->resize(1024, null, function($constraint){
    $constraint->upsize();
    $constraint->aspectRatio();
});
$img->save();

While your code snippet may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how your code snippet works improves its long-term value. – Sven Eberth Jun 13 '21 at 13:20

The solutions above will crop the image. To prevent that, you can slightly change code:

$imageResize = Image::make($originalFile);
$imageResize->orientate();
$imageResize->resize(600, null, function ($constraint) {
    $constraint->aspectRatio();
    $constraint->upsize();
})->save($thumbPath);
