Samples

for all below samples I used image from unsplach photo by LUM3N, original size 6000x4000, the image saved in local folder under wwwroot\\Images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg

ImageResize supports resizing images in several ways, all scale methods will keep the aspect ratio of the original image, except Crop method which will have a new aspect ratio according to the crop size.;

Scale

Auto scale down image to fit target size and keep original aspect ratio


        //get image from local path
        var img = Image.FromFile("wwwroot\\images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg");

        //resize the image to 600x400 
        var newImg = ImageResize.Scale(img, 600, 400);

        //save new image
        newImg.SaveAs("wwwroot\\images\\600x400-scale.jpg");

        //dispose to free up memory
        img.Dispose();
        newImg.Dispose();

Result

Scale by Width

Scale down by given width parameter and keep original aspect ratio


        //get image from local path
        var img = Image.FromFile("wwwroot\\images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg");

        //scale by width, new width = 300 
        var newImg = ImageResize.ScaleByWidth(img, 300);

        //save new image
        newImg.SaveAs("wwwroot\\images\\300-scale-by-width.jpg");

        //dispose to free up memory
        img.Dispose();
        newImg.Dispose();
Result image size 300x200

Scale by Height

Scale down by given height parameter and keep original aspect ratio


        //get image from local path
        var img = Image.FromFile("wwwroot\\images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg");

        //scale by width, new height = 300 
        var newImg = ImageResize.ScaleByHeight(img, 300);

        //save new image
        newImg.SaveAs("wwwroot\\images\\300-scale-by-height.jpg");

        //dispose to free up memory
        img.Dispose();
        newImg.Dispose();
Result image size: 450x300

Scale and Crop

Scale down by given width and height parameters. Final image will have a new aspect ratio


        //get image from local path
        var img = Image.FromFile("wwwroot\\images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg");

        //scale and crop, 250x250 center focus 
        var newImg = ImageResize.ScaleAndCrop(img, 250, 250, TargetSpot.Center);

        //save new image
        newImg.SaveAs("wwwroot\\images\\250x250-scale-and-crop-center.jpg");

        //dispose to free up memory
        img.Dispose();
        newImg.Dispose();
Result image size: 250x250

Crop

        //get image from local path
        var img = Image.FromFile("wwwroot\\images\\lum3n-358833-unsplash.jpg");

Result image size: 250x250

Text Watermark

Add text watermark to the bottom area of the image. First we will resize the image to 600x250 then watermark will be applied.

        //scale and crop, 600x250 center focus 
        var newImg = ImageResize.ScaleAndCrop(img, 600, 250, TargetSpot.Center);

        //add text watermark
        newImg.TextWatermark("Powered by LazZiya.ImageResize",
