Scale by orientation
Security covered
This module automatically scales images to a consistent size based on their orientation. It sets the longest side of an image to a specified pixel dimension, ensuring landscape, portrait, and square images have a uniform visual weight. This is particularly useful for image galleries and grids.
Scale by Orientation
Automatically scales images based on their orientation to create consistent sizes.
What it does
This image effect scales images to a target pixel size on their longest side:
- Landscape images (wider than tall): Scales width to your target size
- Portrait images (taller than wide): Scales height to your target size
- Square images: Treated as landscape, scales width
Perfect for galleries and grids where you want images to have similar visual weight. It works well with "set canvas" from Image Effects module
How to use it
- Go to Configuration → Media → Image styles
- Edit an image style (or create new)
- Click Add effect
- Choose Scale by Orientation
- Set your options:
- Target dimension: The pixel size (e.g., 200)
- Upscale images: Check to enlarge small images, uncheck to leave them as-is
Examples
With a 200px target dimension:
Original Result 400×200 landscape 200×100 200×400 portrait 100×200 300×300 square 200×200Without upscaling: A 50×25 image stays 50×25
With upscaling: A 50×25 image becomes 200×100
