Some says imagic faster, i use next

    
    function resizeImageProportional($imagePath, $destinationPath, $width = false, $height = false, $filterType = \Imagick::FILTER_POINT, $blur = 1, $bestFit = false, $cropZoom = false)
    {
        if (!$width && !$height) {
            trigger_error("WTF_IMAGE_RESIZE");
            return false;
        }
        //The blur factor where > 1 is blurry, < 1 is sharp.
        $imagick = new \Imagick(realpath($imagePath));


    if (!$width || !$height) {
        $orig_width = $imagick->getImageWidth();
        $orig_height = $imagick->getImageHeight();
        $proportion = $orig_height/$orig_width;
        if (!$width) {
            $width = $height*$proportion;
        } elseif (!$height) {
            $height = $width*$proportion;
        }
    }

    if ($bestFit) {
        $imagick->resizeImage($width, $height, $filterType, $blur, $bestFit);
    } else {
        $imagick->resizeImage($width, $height, $filterType, $blur);
    }

    if ($cropZoom) {
        $cropWidth = $imagick->getImageWidth();
        $cropHeight = $imagick->getImageHeight();

        $newWidth = $cropWidth / 2;
        $newHeight = $cropHeight / 2;

        $imagick->cropimage(
            $newWidth,
            $newHeight,
            ($cropWidth - $newWidth) / 2,
            ($cropHeight - $newHeight) / 2
        );

        $imagick->scaleimage(
            $imagick->getImageWidth() * 4,
            $imagick->getImageHeight() * 4
        );
    }
