In this article, I will explain how to resize an image in two different ways
- resizing with custom dimensions
- keeping the same proportions/aspect ratio
Method 1: Resizing with custom dimensions
The most practical method in PHP to resize an image with custom and crop sizes (without keeping the original proportions/aspect ratio) is implementing the following function:
function resize_image($file, $w, $h, $crop=false) { list($width, $height) = getimagesize($file); $r = $width / $height; if ($crop) { if ($width > $height) { $width = ceil($width-($width*abs($r-$w/$h))); } else { $height = ceil($height-($height*abs($r-$w/$h))); } $newwidth = $w; $newheight = $h; } else { if ($w/$h > $r) { $newwidth = $h*$r; $newheight = $h; } else { $newheight = $w/$r; $newwidth = $w; } } $src = imagecreatefromjpeg($file); $dst = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight); imagecopyresampled($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height); return $dst; }
if you set the $crop value on true, the image will be cropped starting from the center, otherwise it will be resized with the new values of width and height
Method 2: keeping the aspect ratio
The second method implements the SimpleImage class by Simon Jarvis, save in a new *.php file the following class and require_once it in your current script
/* * File: SimpleImage.php * Author: Simon Jarvis * Copyright: 2006 Simon Jarvis * Date: 08/11/06 * Link: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/blog/resizing-images-with-php/ * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 * of the License, or (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

then you can instantiate the above class in the following way in your script, to resize an image keeping the same proportions:
$filename = 'your filename here!'; list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename); $max_width = 1920; $max_height = 1080; $new_width = 1280; $new_height = 720; if($width >= $height){ $ratio = $max_width / $width; $new_height = $height * $ratio; } else { $ratio = $max_height / $height; $new_width = $width * $ratio; } $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load($filename); $image->resize($new_width, $new_height); $image->save($filename);
