Introduction
Here I will explain how to resize an image without losing any quality from uploaded images using asp.net.
Description:
In previous post I explained clearly how to generate the thumbnails dynamically. Here I am using same concept to resize the image without losing quality just by changing scaling factor in previous post. In social networking sites after upload images they will reduce the size of the photo but the quality will be same after seen that I tried to write this post. I taken one of my pic that pic size is 3.62 MB before resize Image that is here
 |
Now I am trying to resize above image For that first create one new website after that right click on that website select New Folder give name as Images because here I am using same name if you want to use another name you need to change the name in code also. After completion of adding Images folder to your website Design your aspx page like this
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head id="Head1" runat="server"> <title>Generate a Thumbnails from Uploaded Image</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" /> <asp:Button ID="btnsave" runat="server" Text="Upload" onclick="btnsave_Click" /> </div> <div> <asp:DataList ID="dtlist" runat="server" RepeatColumns="3" CellPadding="5"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Image ID="Image1" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "~/Images/{0}") %>' runat="server" /> <br /> <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "~/Images/{0}") %>' runat="server"/> </ItemTemplate> <ItemStyle BorderColor="Brown" BorderStyle="dotted" BorderWidth="3px" HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Bottom" /> </asp:DataList> </div> </form> </body> </html> |
After that add following namespaces in code behind
using System.Collections; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Drawing2D; using System.IO; |
After completion of adding namespaces write the following code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!IsPostBack) { BindDataList(); } } protected void BindDataList() { DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(MapPath("Images")); FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles(); ArrayList listItems = new ArrayList(); foreach (FileInfo info in files) { listItems.Add(info); } dtlist.DataSource = listItems; dtlist.DataBind(); } protected void btnsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName); string targetPath = Server.MapPath("Images/" + filename); Stream strm = fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream; var targetFile = targetPath; //Based on scalefactor image size will vary GenerateThumbnails(0.5, strm, targetFile); BindDataList(); } private void GenerateThumbnails(double scaleFactor, Stream sourcePath, string targetPath) { using (var image = Image.FromStream(sourcePath)) { var newWidth = (int)(image.Width * scaleFactor); var newHeight = (int)(image.Height * scaleFactor); var thumbnailImg = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight); var thumbGraph = Graphics.FromImage(thumbnailImg); thumbGraph.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality; thumbGraph.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality; thumbGraph.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic; var imageRectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight); thumbGraph.DrawImage(image, imageRectangle); thumbnailImg.Save(targetPath, image.RawFormat); } } |
After completion of above run your application and upload one image and check the size of image after resize and before resize you will find huge difference in size but quality will be same as original one.
After run my application I upload above pic to resize after completion process my pic size reduces drastically to 218 KB do you believe this but it’s true we can reduce image size as much as possible by using above code without losing quality of image and my image quality same as original one check it

how to do it without fileupload ? i mean i want to resize an specified image, then i am getting stream error, please help
Hi ,
i think that error because of your not passing correct image path that's why your getting that error. Here i am passing the imagepath by using the upload control. Please check your image whether your passing correct value or not
i am passing correct value but i am getting problem because i have path in a string, i need to convert this string into inputstream or stream and i tried with several way but its still error just because of stream, please help
can you provide code to my email id ?
copland.adam@yahoo.com
Awesome!!!!Thanks a ton!!!You solved a weeks hunt for the code!!!!
Image.FromStream doesn't exist? Can you help me out with this?
Image class present in two namespaces 'System.Web.UI.WebControls' and 'System.Drawing'.That's why you are getting Image.FromStream doesn't exist. To solve this write System.Drawing.Image.FromStream.
thanks alot for such nice task,cud u plz tell me that how could i create a thumnail for a video...my task is i just want to show something(thumbnail or screenshot) of the uploaded video on server(not from youtube,vimeo url)??

Thank You...
This is nice code , But I found it checks each image before uploading. For example if we are uploading image in Demo folder and demo folder contains 90 images. Your code checks 90 times and then load image . How this work if we are having a lot of images in server???? Please sort this

hi all.. can anybody help me how to crop the image and reduce the size and dimension of an image
hey hi....i am using a image handler for uploading image and i also want to reduce the size of my image..but in my handler it takes image as input stream...so how can i pass the stream from that resized Image..??
Thank-you very much this is working fine....
Hello Suresh,
I used your method "GenerateThumbnails" for resizing my image and its working well for single file but when it comes for multiple file then its firing error.
In my scenario,
I have two file uploaders for image-
One for main image
another for uploading multiple image - (using jquery.MultiFile.js)
Now when I run one by one then its working well for me
but when I run togather its firing error saying that "Parameter is not valid" in memory stream.
Single image is uploading fine for me but when control goes for multiple image uploader (HttpFileCollection hfc = Request.Files; - in my code) then its firing error from this
line - "using (var image = Image.FromStream(sourcePath))" - "Parameter is not valid"
I need help in this, please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi..your code is resizing all image type....now we are uploading some pic which are of 10kb or 40kb...it is trying to resize this image as well and hence images are getting corrupted....is it possible that it would first check the size of image and then will further go for compression...pls help
Thank bro.
It works like a charm.
I'm facing this error..A generic error occurred in GDI+.. Please help me...
thumbnailImg.Save(targetPath, image.RawFormat);
Here we have to add instead of targetpath to your own path like
thumbnailImg.Save(Server.MapPath(@"~\productimages\" + filepath), image.RawFormat);
a generic error occurred in gdi+.
i want to change only size of the image,i dont want to change width and height

for ex if my image is 200*230 and 200kb,i just want to change 200kb to 100kb or less with out loosing width and height
i used ur code its changing width and height also.
Stream strm = fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream; how can we change this line while using file path.
pls mail me to test7use@gmail.com
Stream fs = File.OpenRead(@"c:\testdocument.docx");
while using the path use like this it works.
your both image size are almost same only difference of 2-3 kb
i have path in a string, i need to convert this string into inputstream or stream and i tried with several way but its still error just because of stream, please help

Hi,
Can I save that image into database if it is possible then how
sir, i want pixel scaling of the image without loosing its quality.Sir urgently i need your help.thank you!
Hello. I am using multiple file upload and I want to compress every uploaded file. But unfortunately, I am not able to do using your code. The issue what I am facing is GenerateThumbnails method is always taking 1st uploaded image and saving with other file names but what I need is saving multiple files with their own filenames.
On investigation, I found that fileupload.postedfile is holding 1st uploaded filename when processing 2nd compression which is held by System.Web.HttpInputStream in temporary files of ASP.NET.
Is there any way to clear that out before compressing 2nd image?
its working awsome thnks for this code
I want to change colour of selected portion of an image and increase or decrease image width and length.
Please help me
hi
