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 200×200

Without upscaling: A 50×25 image stays 50×25

With upscaling: A 50×25 image becomes 200×100
