image resizing

67 New Member
I have created a site where users can upload images to a mysql server and then the images are displayed on another page. If possible i would like to resize the image before the data uploads. for example if the image is 1024 x 2000 and 2mb. It would resize the image to 400 x 600 and 200kb. or something of the sorts. then it would upload that data and store it in my database. As of now my script uploads, stores, and displays the image. However if it is 2mb it takes much longer to upload (and download), i am currently using (img width=400px height=600px) to display a smaller image.

No, you cannot alter files on the user's computer.

Perhaps, and I don't know how to do this, there is some way of restricting the size of file a user can upload to your site. In this way you would get around the problem you have and the user would have to re-size the image themselves.

I'm sure I've seen this sort of thing somewhere, I just can't remember where.

I've heard that resizing images through PHP (either GD2 or ImageMagick) is a processor intensive exercise. I'm setting up a site where users will be uploading up to 10 images along with the details of their product. For each image uploaded (max 500Kb), I'll be resizing it to create a small, medium and large version after which I'll discard the original. My worry is that as the site becomes more popular, the processor time spent resizing...

Hi, I have a collection of images stored in a DB. They are there for the purpose of a news system. When the user views the homepage it will diplay cropped versions of the news where the user will them click the 'read more' link to view the entire article. It will also display a thumbnail of the article image. As the image is stored at its full display size in the DB I need to be able to resize it before outputing it.

I have a DataList control that has an Image control in the ItemTemplate. I would like to resize the image that goes into that control. I have a series of jpg files that are full size, full resolution (ie. large). I have a database that contains references to the pictures. Currently I have to resize the jpgs manually, and then point the ImageUrl property at that jpg using databinding. This works fine. I would like to avoid the resizing step...

Is there a way to display images (imageButtons or linkbuttons for instance) as a max size (200px by 50px) and not have it stretch the image? What I want to be able to do is limit the real estate an image can take up but not stretch the image if it happens to be 150px by 40. I am doing commands such as: <asp:ImageButton ID="CompanyLogo" onClick="Image_Click" Width="200px" Height="50px" runat="server"/>

I'm reading a series of images from a MS SQL table and saving them to directory. These are staff ID pictures from our security card app. Once I've extracted the ID photo from the security app to disk, I need to reference the disk file in our HR app. As part of the process, I'm resizing the image and changing its resolution from 96 to 72 dpi. If they are not at a 72 dpi resolution, the HR app freezes. The resizing works without a hitch, but...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
