NextJS Image Component Image Orientation

@joebell can you provide some example or reference to this happening?
(I don’t recall seeing it in the wild)
Thanks!

Thanks for the response! It’s happening in a private project so I’ll spin up a small repro and send over in the coming days

What I can say in the meantime is that:

  1. It only happens to JPEGs
  2. It only happens on a resize bigger than &w=1134 (anything lower than this and the issue doesn’t occur)
  3. It only happens in Netlify deployments, not locally

Thanks!
Looking forward to a repro.

I’ve found some older internal discussion where someone hinted that rotation data is sometimes provided in the image file’s EXIF metadata, and compression should take it into account - but it’s hard to say if this is related to your case without a repro.

Thanks! So I’ve been doing a little testing and I’ve managed to narrow down the issue to the EXIF data:

  • If Orientation is set to Horizontal (normal) then there’s no issue
  • If Orientation is set to Rotate 90 CW then this is where the issue seems to occur

Unfortunately I’m having a hard time recreating these images with the same EXIF data (these images aren’t publicly shareable) so I can’t send over a repro your way

Given that this is a fairly niche problem, I’ll go ahead and amend the EXIF of my source images myself! Hope this helps anyone else who runs into the same issue

Thanks again for your help @elad.rosenheim :folded_hands:
