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

class SimpleImage {
var $image;
var $image_type;
function load($filename) {
$image_info = getimagesize($filename);
$this->image_type = $image_info[2];
if( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromgif($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefrompng($filename);
}
}
function save($filename, $image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG, $compression=75, $permissions=null) {
if( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
imagejpeg($this->image,$filename,$compression);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
imagegif($this->image,$filename);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
imagepng($this->image,$filename);
}
if( $permissions != null) {
chmod($filename,$permissions);
}
}
function output($image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG) {
if( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
imagejpeg($this->image);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
imagegif($this->image);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
imagepng($this->image);
}
}
function getWidth() {
return imagesx($this->image);
}
function getHeight() {
return imagesy($this->image);
}
function resizeToHeight($height) {
$ratio = $height / $this->getHeight();
$width = $this->getWidth() * $ratio;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function resizeToWidth($width) {
$ratio = $width / $this->getWidth();
$height = $this->getheight() * $ratio;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function scale($scale) {
$width = $this->getWidth() * $scale/100;
$height = $this->getheight() * $scale/100;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function resize($width,$height) {
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagecopyresampled($new_image, $this->image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $this->getWidth(), $this->getHeight());
$this->image = $new_image;
}
}
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);
