Photo rotates after changing aspect ratio

[Jeron_LeDoux]

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to change the aspect ratio of an image from google drive and because of the metadata in the photo when I change the aspect ratio of the picture it rotates. How can I fix this without 3rd party intervention

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @Jeron_LeDoux ,
You can use the n8n built-in Edit Image node to do this.

So far using the edit image node it has multiple inconsistencies when it comes to cropping pictures that have varying aspect ratios. Such as landscape vs portrait. If you know a way to smoothly resize and crop images no matter their original aspect ratio with the main subject in frame I’m open to suggestions. Main subject usually in the middle of the picture.

even after using the edit image node if the photo has metadata then it flips width and height
