Even though thumbnailImage is meant to produce the smallest file size image possible, i found it didn't. I put together this code and bordering different compression settings, found it produced the smallest file size:
<?php
// Max vert or horiz resolution
$maxsize=550;
// create new Imagick object
$image = new Imagick('input_image_filename_and_location');
// Resizes to whichever is larger, width or height
if($image->getImageHeight() <= $image->getImageWidth())
{
// Resize image using the lanczos resampling algorithm based on width
$image->resizeImage($maxsize,0,Imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS,1);
}
else
{
// Resize image using the lanczos resampling algorithm based on height
$image->resizeImage(0,$maxsize,Imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS,1);
}
// Set to use jpeg compression
$image->setImageCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
// Set compression level (1 lowest quality, 100 highest quality)
$image->setImageCompressionQuality(75);
// Strip out unneeded meta data
$image->stripImage();
// Writes resultant image to output directory
$image->writeImage('output_image_filename_and_location');
// Destroys Imagick object, freeing allocated resources in the process
$image->destroy();
?>
I found setCompression to not function at all and had to use setImageCompression. The stripImage call is needed and strips out unneeded meta data. You can choose whatever filter you want, but i found lanczos to be the best for image reduction, though it is more computationally heavy.
Imagick::thumbnailImage
(PECL imagick 2.0.0)
Imagick::thumbnailImage — Modifie la taille d'une image
Description
Modifie la taille d'une image dans les dimensions données et supprime tous les profiles associés. Le but est de produire une miniature à faible coût pour l'afficher sur le web. Si TRUE est fourni comme troisième paramètre, alors les paramètres columns et rows seront utilisés comme maximum de chacun des côtés. Chaque côté sera abaissé tant que la taille désirée ne sera pas atteinte.
Note: Le comportement du paramètre bestfit a changé avec Imagick 3.0.0. Avant cette version, fournir les dimensions 400x400 à une image de dimensions 200x150 faisait que la partie gauche était inchangée. Avec Imagick 3.0.0 et suivants, l'image est réduite à la taille 400x300, sachant que c'est le meilleur résultat pour ces dimensions. Si le paramètre bestfit est utilisé, la largeur et la hauteur doivent être fournies.
Liste de paramètres
- columns
-
Largeur de l'image
- rows
-
Hauteur de l'image
- bestfit

Si l'on doit forcer les valeurs maximales
Valeurs de retour
Returns TRUE on success.

Here is a function to calculate the new dimensions of a thumbnail, to fit within the given dimensions on both sides.
<?php
/**
* Calculate new image dimensions to new constraints
*
* @param Original X size in pixels
* @param Original Y size in pixels
* @return New X maximum size in pixels
* @return New Y maximum size in pixels
*/
function scaleImage($x,$y,$cx,$cy) {
//Set the default NEW values to be the old, in case it doesn't even need scaling
list($nx,$ny)=array($x,$y);
//If image is generally smaller, don't even bother
if ($x>=$cx || $y>=$cx) {
//Work out ratios
if ($x>0) $rx=$cx/$x;
if ($y>0) $ry=$cy/$y;
//Use the lowest ratio, to ensure we don't go over the wanted image size
if ($rx>$ry) {
$r=$ry;
} else {
$r=$rx;
}
//Calculate the new size based on the chosen ratio
$nx=intval($x*$r);
$ny=intval($y*$r);
}
//Return the results
return array($nx,$ny);
}
?>
Use it like this:
<?php
//Read original image and create Imagick object
$thumb=new Imagick($originalImageFilename);
//Work out new dimensions
list($newX,$newY)=scaleImage(
$thumb->getImageWidth(),
$thumb->getImageHeight(),
$newMaximumWidth,
$newMaximumHeight);
//Scale the image
$thumb->thumbnailImage($newX,$newY);
//Write the new image to a file
$thumb->writeImage($thumbnailFilename);
?>
If you want to resize your picture to fit smallest parameter:
$fitbyWidth = (($maxWidth/$w)<($maxHeight/$h)) ?true:false;
if($fitbyWidth){
$im->thumbnailImage($maxWidth, 0, false);
}else{
$im->thumbnailImage(0, $maxHeight, false);
}
With $fit == true, the image is resized proportionally so that its _smallest_ dimension matches the width or height specified, NOT both.
For example, if you say thumbnailImage(400, 400, true), on an image of 1600x800, it will be resized to 800x400, NOT 400x200 as you might expect.
The solution is to compare the original image's dimensions to the specified dimensions, and substitute zero for the smaller dimension, and set $fit = false.
i.e.: thumbnailImage(400, 0, false) would resize that 1600x800 image to 400x200.
As noted here
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.imagick.php
With either of the params as 0, the aspect ratio is maintained.
