How to resize image in PHP
By Ujwal Kumar SahooIn this article, we will discuss how to resize an image in PHP. Image resizing is useful when you have a bigger or smaller size window as compared to the image.
Image resizing requires information about the old height and width of an image to generate an image of new width and height.
The below image is considered as source file throughout the article.
Resize image with predefined function in PHP
- In PHP, the imagecopyresized() method resize an image.
Syntax:-
imagecopyresized(destination,source,x1,y1,x2,y2,new_width,new_height,old_width,old_height);The below script shows the method for resizing,
<?php
// File and new size
$fname = 'extreme-snowboarding-1920x1080-winter-jump-snow-10925.jpg';
//set $percent value <1 for shrinking and $percent value >1 for expanding
$per = 0.3;
//Check Content type
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
//Generate new size parameters
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($fname);
$new_w = $width * $per;
$new_h = $height * $per;
// Load image
$output = imagecreatetruecolor($new_w, $new_h);
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($fname);
// Resize the source image to new size
imagecopyresized($output, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_w, $new_h, $width, $height);
//Display Output
imagejpeg($output);
?>Output:-
- In PHP, there is one more method i.e imagecopyresampled() is used to resize an image.
Syntax:-
imagecopyresampled(destination,source,x1,y1,x2,y2,new_width,new_height,old_width,old_height);The below script shows the method for resizing,
<html> <body> <form name="ImgResize" action="phpresize.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="img" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
Output:-
phpresize.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
if(is_array($_FILES))
{
$file = $_FILES['img']['tmp_name'];
$image_prop = getimagesize($file);
$image_type = $image_prop[2];
if( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG )
{
$image_resource_id = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
$layer = resize($image_id,$image_prop[0],$image_prop[1]);
imagejpeg($layer,$_FILES['img']['name'] . "_thump.jpg");
}
elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF )
{
$image_id = imagecreatefromgif($file);
$layer = resize($image_id,$image_prop[0],$image_prop[1]);
imagegif($layer,$_FILES['img']['name'] . "_thump.gif");
}
elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG )
{
$image_id = imagecreatefrompng($file);
$layer = resize($image_id,$image_prop[0],$image_prop[1]);
imagepng($layer,$_FILES['img']['name'] . "_thump.png");
}
}
}
function resize($image_id,$width,$height)
{
$new_width =$width * 0.5;
$new_height =$height * 0.5;
$layer=imagecreatetruecolor($new_width,$new_height);
imagecopyresampled($layer,$image_id,0,0,0,0,$new_width,$new_height, $width,$height);
return $layer;
}
?>
Output:-
