Usage
Save the above file as SimpleImage.php and take a look at the following examples of how to use the script.
The first example below will load a file named picture.jpg resize it to 250 pixels wide and 400 pixels high and resave it as picture2.jpg
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<?php include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load('picture.jpg'); $image->resize(250,400); $image->save('picture2.jpg'); ?> |
If you want to resize to a specifed width but keep the dimensions ratio the same then the script can work out the required height for you, just use the resizeToWidth function.

<?php include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load('picture.jpg'); $image->resizeToWidth(250); $image->save('picture2.jpg'); ?> |
You may wish to scale an image to a specified percentage like the following which will resize the image to 50% of its original width and height
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<?php include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load('picture.jpg'); $image->scale(50); $image->save('picture2.jpg'); ?> |
You can of course do more than one thing at once. The following example will create two new images with heights of 200 pixels and 500 pixels
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<?php include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load('picture.jpg'); $image->resizeToHeight(500); $image->save('picture2.jpg'); $image->resizeToHeight(200); $image->save('picture3.jpg'); ?> |
The output function lets you output the image straight to the browser without having to save the file. Its useful for on the fly thumbnail generation

<?php header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load('picture.jpg'); $image->resizeToWidth(150); $image->output(); ?> |
The following example will resize and save an image which has been uploaded via a form

<?php if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) { include('SimpleImage.php'); $image = new SimpleImage(); $image->load($_FILES['uploaded_image']['tmp_name']); $image->resizeToWidth(150); $image->output(); } else { ?> <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="uploaded_image" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" /> </form> <?php } ?> |
