ASP.NET Image uploading with Resizing - asp.net

Question

I have an aspx page which will upload images to server harddisk from client pc
But now i need to change my program in such a way that it would allow me to resize the image while uploading.
Does anyone has any idea on this ? I couldnt not find such properties/methods with Input file server control
Any one there to guide me ?

Answer 1

Once the file has been saved to the server you can use code like this to resize. This code will take care of length/width ratio on the resize.
public static Bitmap CreateThumbnail(string lcFilename, int lnWidth, int lnHeight)
{
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmpOut = null;
try
{
Bitmap loBMP = new Bitmap(lcFilename);
ImageFormat loFormat = loBMP.RawFormat;
decimal lnRatio;
int lnNewWidth = 0;
int lnNewHeight = 0;
if (loBMP.Width < lnWidth && loBMP.Height < lnHeight)
return loBMP;
if (loBMP.Width > loBMP.Height)
{
lnRatio = (decimal)lnWidth / loBMP.Width;
lnNewWidth = lnWidth;
decimal lnTemp = loBMP.Height * lnRatio;
lnNewHeight = (int)lnTemp;
}
else
{
lnRatio = (decimal)lnHeight / loBMP.Height;
lnNewHeight = lnHeight;
decimal lnTemp = loBMP.Width * lnRatio;
lnNewWidth = (int)lnTemp;
}
bmpOut = new Bitmap(lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpOut);
g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
g.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
g.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
g.PixelOffsetMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
g.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, 0, 0, lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
g.DrawImage(loBMP, 0, 0, lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
loBMP.Dispose();
}
catch
{
return null;
}
return bmpOut;
}

You will not be able to resize "on the fly" since you will need to have the full image before you perform any image transformations. However, after the upload is complete and before you display any results to your user, you can use this basic image resizing method that I've used in a couple of my apps now:
''' <summary>
''' Resize image with GDI+ so that image is nice and clear with required size.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="SourceImage">Image to resize</param>
''' <param name="NewHeight">New height to resize to.</param>
''' <param name="NewWidth">New width to resize to.</param>
''' <returns>Image object resized to new dimensions.</returns>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Public Shared Function ImageResize(ByVal SourceImage As Image, ByVal NewHeight As Int32, ByVal NewWidth As Int32) As Image
Dim bitmap As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(NewWidth, NewHeight, SourceImage.PixelFormat)
If bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format4bppIndexed Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Undefined Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppArgb1555 Or _
bitmap.PixelFormat = Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale Then
Throw New NotSupportedException("Pixel format of the image is not supported.")
End If
Dim graphicsImage As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
graphicsImage.SmoothingMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
graphicsImage.InterpolationMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
graphicsImage.DrawImage(SourceImage, 0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height)
graphicsImage.Dispose()
Return bitmap
End Function

Answer 3

Another approach would to allow the user to adjust the size in the browser and then resize the image as described in other answers.
So take a look at this solution which allows you to upload and crop images with jQuery, jCrop & ASP.NET.

How to resize & Upload Image only for .jpg Extensions :
In upload.aspx page
<asp:FileUpload ID="ProductImage" runat="server"/>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Upload" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtProductName" CssClass="form-control" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtProductName" ErrorMessage="The Product name field is required." />

public bool ResizeImageAndUpload(System.IO.FileStream newFile, string folderPathAndFilenameNoExtension, double maxHeight, double maxWidth)
{
try
{
// Declare variable for the conversion
float ratio;
// Create variable to hold the image
System.Drawing.Image thisImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(newFile);
// Get height and width of current image
int width = (int)thisImage.Width;
int height = (int)thisImage.Height;
// Ratio and conversion for new size
if (width > maxWidth)
{
ratio = (float)width / (float)maxWidth;
width = (int)(width / ratio);

This is how I did in my project, based on your condition (height/width) you can change the parameter ie(MaxHeight)
public static System.Drawing.Image ScaleImage(System.Drawing.Image image, int maxHeight)
{
var ratio = (double)maxHeight / image.Height;
var newWidth = (int)(image.Width * ratio);
var newHeight = (int)(image.Height * ratio);
var newImage = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight);
using (var g = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
{
g.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
}
return newImage;
}
On Button click:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblmsg.Text="";
if ((File1.PostedFile != null) && (File1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0))
{
Guid uid = Guid.NewGuid();
string fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(File1.PostedFile.FileName);
string SaveLocation = Server.MapPath("LogoImagesFolder") + "\\" + uid+fn;
try
{
string fileExtention = File1.PostedFile.ContentType;
int fileLenght = File1.PostedFile.ContentLength;
if (fileExtention == "image/png" || fileExtention == "image/jpeg" || fileExtention == "image/x-png")
{
if (fileLenght <= 1048576)
{
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmpPostedImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(File1.PostedFile.InputStream);
System.Drawing.Image objImage = ScaleImage(bmpPostedImage, 81);
objImage.Save(SaveLocation,ImageFormat.Png);
lblmsg.Text = "The file has been uploaded.";
lblmsg.Style.Add("Color", "Green");
}
else
{
lblmsg.Text = "Image size cannot be more then 1 MB.";
lblmsg.Style.Add("Color", "Red");
}
}
else {
lblmsg.Text = "Invaild Format!";
lblmsg.Style.Add("Color", "Red");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
lblmsg.Text= "Error: " + ex.Message;
lblmsg.Style.Add("Color", "Red");
}
}
}

Answer 6

You'll need to use the WebClient class to download the remote image.
After that, then you can resize it...Use DrawImage, not GetThumbnailImage. Make sure you dispose of your bitmap and graphics handles.. (use using{}). Set all quality settings to high.
You might want to take a look at the source code for my popular image resizer first... It will help you avoid some common trouble areas.

//Here is another WAY fox!!! i have actually modify the code from You all. HIHI
//First, add one textBox and one FileUpload Control, and a button
//paste this in your code behind file... after public partial class admin : System.Web.UI.Page
string OriPath;
string ImageName;
public Size NewImageSize(int OriginalHeight, int OriginalWidth, double FormatSize)
{
Size NewSize;
double tempval;
if (OriginalHeight > FormatSize && OriginalWidth > FormatSize)
{
if (OriginalHeight > OriginalWidth)
tempval = FormatSize / Convert.ToDouble(OriginalHeight);
else
tempval = FormatSize / Convert.ToDouble(OriginalWidth);
NewSize = new Size(Convert.ToInt32(tempval * OriginalWidth), Convert.ToInt32(tempval * OriginalHeight));
}
else
NewSize = new Size(OriginalWidth, OriginalHeight); return NewSize;
}
//Now, On Button click add the folwing code.
if (FileUpload1.PostedFile != null)
{
ImageName = TextBox1.Text+".jpg";
OriPath = Server.MapPath("pix\\") + ImageName;
//Gets the Full Path using Filecontrol1 which points to actual location in the hardisk :)
using (System.Drawing.Image Img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)))
{
Size ThumbNailSize = NewImageSize(Img.Height, Img.Width, 800);
using (System.Drawing.Image ImgThnail = new Bitmap(Img, ThumbNailSize.Width, ThumbNailSize.Height))
{
ImgThnail.Save(OriPath, Img.RawFormat);
ImgThnail.Dispose();
}
Img.Dispose();
}
}

Answer 8

To resize down a image and get smaller sizes just make the changes below
bmpOut = new Bitmap(lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight, **System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb**);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpOut);
as you above a set the imagem to Format24bppRgb PixelFormat.
and when you save the file, you set the ImageFormat also. Like this:
bmpOut.Save(PathImage, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

You can use this, it does a dandy job for me. But it does not handle low res images well for me. Thankfully I down use to many of them. Just sent it the image byte[] and the expected output and you'll be good to go.
public static byte[] ResizeImageFile(byte[] imageFile, int targetSize)
{
using (System.Drawing.Image oldImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(imageFile)))
{
Size newSize = CalculateDimensions(oldImage.Size, targetSize);
using (Bitmap newImage = new Bitmap(newSize.Width, newSize.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb))
{
newImage.SetResolution(oldImage.HorizontalResolution, oldImage.VerticalResolution);
using (Graphics canvas = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
{
canvas.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
canvas.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
canvas.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
canvas.DrawImage(oldImage, new Rectangle(new Point(0, 0), newSize));
MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
newImage.Save(m, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
return m.GetBuffer();
}
}
}
}
private static Size CalculateDimensions(Size oldSize, int targetSize)
{
Size newSize = new Size();
if (oldSize.Width > oldSize.Height)
{
newSize.Width = targetSize;
newSize.Height = (int)(oldSize.Height * (float)targetSize / (float)oldSize.Width);
}
else
{
newSize.Width = (int)(oldSize.Width * (float)targetSize / (float)oldSize.Height);
newSize.Height = targetSize;
}
return newSize;
}

You could resize before sending to the server using an ActiveX control. There is a free ASP.net image uploading component (I believe this is the same one that Facebook actually uses) available here:
http://forums.aurigma.com/yaf_postst2145_Image-Uploader-ASPNET-Control.aspx
Let me know if it works, I am thinking about implementing it in my projects here at work.
Edit: Looks like the wrapper for the object is free, however the actual component itself is going to run you about $200. I confirmed it is the same component Facebook is using though.

Answer 11

using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
public partial class admin_AddPhoto : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string reportPath = Server.MapPath("../picnic");
if (!Directory.Exists(reportPath))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath("../picnic"));
}
}
protected void PhotoForm_ItemInserting(object sender, FormViewInsertEventArgs e)
{
FormView uploadForm = sender as FormView;
FileUpload uploadedFile = uploadForm.FindControl("uploadedFile") as FileUpload;
if (uploadedFile != null)
{
string fileName = uploadedFile.PostedFile.FileName;
string pathFile = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileName);
try
{
uploadedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("../picnic/") + pathFile);
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
//catch exception here
}
try
{
Bitmap uploadedimage = new Bitmap(uploadedFile.PostedFile.InputStream);
e.Values["ImageWidth"] = uploadedimage.Width.ToString();
e.Values["ImageHeight"] = uploadedimage.Height.ToString();
// Make output File Name
char[] splitter = { '.' };
string[] splitFile = pathFile.Split(splitter);
string OutputFilename = splitFile[0] + "s";
System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort myCallback = new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback);
System.Drawing.Image thumbImage = uploadedimage.GetThumbnailImage(74, 54, myCallback, IntPtr.Zero);
thumbImage.Save(Server.MapPath("../picnic/") + OutputFilename + ".jpg");
e.Values["Thumbnail"] = "./picnic/" + OutputFilename + ".jpg";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//catch exception here
}
e.Values["Pic"] = "./picnic/" + pathFile;
e.Values["Url"] = "./picnic/" + pathFile;
e.Values["dateEntered"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
}
}
public bool ThumbnailCallback()
{
return false;
}
}
This uses a FileUpload and a FormView to insert. Then I use the GetThumnailImage() method provided in System.Drawing.Imaging. You can enter any Width and Height values and it will shrink/stretch accordingly.
uploadedimage.GetThumbnailImage(W, H, myCallback, IntPtr.Zero);
Hope this helps.

Answer 12

The uploading of the image file is performed by ASP.NET 4.0 Client Callbacks. If you are not familiar with client callbacks then I suggest that you take a look at ASP.Net AJAX Control Toolkit AsyncFileUpload Control without page refresh or PostBack in ASP.Net Web Page or ASP.Net AJAX Update Panel. The callback is fired as soon as the file is selected by the user using the file field control.
