How do you create a thumbnail image out of a JPEG in Java?

Question

Can someone please help with some code for creating a thumbnail for a JPEG in Java.

I\'m new at this, so a step by step explanation would be appreciated.

Answer 1

There are many image processing frameworks available that you can do this with just a few lines. The example below generates the thumbnails in different resolutions (given a width as reference) using Marvin Framework. The three thumbnails were generated in 92 ms.

input:

output:

import static marvin.MarvinPluginCollection.*;

MarvinImage image = MarvinImageIO.loadImage("./res/input.jpg");
MarvinImage scaledImage = new MarvinImage(1,1);

scale(image, scaledImage, 250);
MarvinImageIO.saveImage(scaledImage, "./res/output_x250.jpg");

scale(image, scaledImage, 150);
MarvinImageIO.saveImage(scaledImage, "./res/output_x150.jpg");

scale(image, scaledImage, 50);
MarvinImageIO.saveImage(scaledImage, "./res/output_x50.jpg");
