README
Handy tool for image resizing. Produces well optimized images for web.
Supported input and output formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF (including animated), WebP, AVIF, HEIC.
Requirements
- PHP >= 7.4
- ext-imagick >= 3.4
- pngquant (optional, required only for
PngquantOptimizerfilter)
Basic Usage
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.jpg");
// getting info about image
$scaler->getImageWidth(); // e.g. 1920
$scaler->getImageHeight(); // e.g. 1080
$scaler->getOrientation(); // 0, 1, 2 or 3 (i.e. 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees clockwise)
$scaler->getMimeType(); // "image/jpeg"
// performing a transformation
$scaler->scaleTo(300,200,["keep_aspect" => true]);
// saving to output file
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_file.jpg");
// or saving to string
// $image = $scaler->saveToString();
// checking the result
$scaler_out = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/output_file.jpg");
$scaler_out->getImageWidth(); // 300
$scaler_out->getImageHeight(); // 169
EXIF orientation is detected automatically for JPEG images. The image is rotated accordingly so that the output is always correctly oriented.
Scaling options
There are plenty of options in method scaleTo(). Some of them are mutually exclusive and should not be used together.
$scaler->scaleTo($width, $height, [
"orientation" => 0, // automatically detected from EXIF; 0, 1, 2 or 3 (i.e. 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees clockwise)
// source crop area within the original image
"x" => 0,
"y" => 0,
"width" => $image_width,
"height" => $image_height,
// keep_aspect and crop are mutually exclusive
"keep_aspect" => false,
"crop" => null, // null, true/"auto", "top", "bottom"
"strip_meta_data" => true,
"sharpen_image" => null, // true, false, null (auto: sharpens when downscaling by more than 20%)
"compression_quality" => 85,
"auto_convert_cmyk_to_rgb" => true,
"output_format" => "jpeg", // "jpeg", "png", "gif", "webp", "avif", "heic"
"background_color" => "#ffffff", // defaults to "transparent" for png, gif, webp and avif
]);
Typical usages
// Scale image to 200px width, preserve aspect ratio.
$scaler->scaleTo(200);
// Scale image to 200px height, preserve aspect ratio.
$scaler->scaleTo(null, 200);
// Scale image to fit into a 200x200 box.
// Aspect ratio is preserved; any remaining space is filled with background_color.
$scaler->scaleTo(200, 200, ["background_color" => "#ffffff"]);
// Scale image to fit within 200x200.
// The output may be smaller than 200x200 in one dimension.
$scaler->scaleTo(200, 200, ["keep_aspect" => true]);
// Scale and crop the image to exactly 200x200.
// The crop is centred.
$scaler->scaleTo(200, 200, ["crop" => true]);
// Scale and crop to 200x200, preserving the top part of the image.
// Great for portrait photos, magazine covers, etc.
$scaler->scaleTo(200, 200, ["crop" => "top"]);
// Scale and crop to 200x200, preserving the bottom part of the image.
$scaler->scaleTo(200, 200, ["crop" => "bottom"]);
Format conversion
The output format can be changed independently of the input format. To convert a JPEG to WebP:
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.jpg");
$scaler->scaleTo(800, null, ["output_format" => "webp"]);
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_image.webp");
Any combination of supported input and output formats is accepted.
Filters
Image processing can be extended with filters. There are two types of filters.
- After scale filters
Executed right after scaling. TheImagickobject is passed to them.
Must be an instance ofPupiq\ImageScaler\AfterScaleFilter. - After save filters
Executed right after the image is saved to the output file. The filename is passed to them.
Must be an instance ofPupiq\ImageScaler\AfterSaveFilter.
In both types the scaling options array is also passed to the filter.
This package comes with several built-in filters.
Grayscale filter
Converts the processed image to grayscale. It is an after scale filter.
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.jpg");
$scaler->appendAfterScaleFilter(new Pupiq\ImageScaler\GrayscaleFilter());
$scaler->scaleTo(300, 300);
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_image.jpg"); // grayscale
Pngquant Optimizer filter
Significantly reduces the file size of PNG images using the pngquant binary. It is an after save filter and has no effect on non-PNG output formats.
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.png");
$scaler->appendAfterSaveFilter(new Pupiq\ImageScaler\PngquantOptimizer([
"pngquant_binary" => "/usr/bin/pngquant", // default: "pngquant"
"quality_range" => "70-90" // default: "70-90"
]));
$scaler->scaleTo(300, 300);
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_image.png");
Watermark filter
Places a watermark image over the processed image. It is an after scale filter.
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.jpg");
$scaler->appendAfterScaleFilter(new Pupiq\ImageScaler\WatermarkFilter("/path/to/watermark_image.png", [
"opacity" => 50, // percentage, default: 50
"position" => "center", // "center", "left-top", "left-bottom", "right-top", "right-bottom"; default: "center"
]));
$scaler->scaleTo(300, 300);
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_image.jpg"); // watermarked image
Combining filters
Filters can be combined and are applied in the order they were added.
$scaler = new Pupiq\ImageScaler("/path/to/image.jpg");
$scaler->appendAfterScaleFilter(new Pupiq\ImageScaler\WatermarkFilter("/path/to/watermark_image.png"));
$scaler->appendAfterScaleFilter(new Pupiq\ImageScaler\GrayscaleFilter());
$scaler->scaleTo(300, 300);
$scaler->saveTo("/path/to/output_image.jpg"); // watermarked and grayscaled
