# UIImage.Orientation.up

The original pixel data matches the image’s intended display orientation.

```
case up
```

## Discussion

If an image is encoded with this orientation, then displayed by software unaware of orientation metadata, the image appears correctly “right side up”. That is, this orientation is an identity value.

![An image in up orientation can be presented for display without rotating or flipping.](images/com.apple.uikit/media-2948308.png)
