Resize image in PHP

Question

I\'m wanting to write some PHP code which automatically resizes any image uploaded via a form to 147x147px, but I have no idea how to go about it (I\'m a relative PHP novice

Answer 1

You can give a try to TinyPNG PHP library. Using this library your image gets optimized automatically during resizing process. All you need to install the library and get an API key from https://tinypng.com/developers. To install a library, run the below command.

composer require tinify/tinify

After that, your code is as follows.

require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

\Tinify\setKey("YOUR_API_KEY");

$source = \Tinify\fromFile("large.jpg"); //image to be resize
$resized = $source->resize(array(
    "method" => "fit",
    "width" => 150,
    "height" => 100
));
$resized->toFile("thumbnail.jpg"); //resized image

I have a written a blog on the same topic http://artisansweb.net/resize-image-php-using-tinypng
