How to resize an image to a smaller size in codeigniter for a single Image upload?

Question

I want to resize the images during upload to a small size so that they take less time while loading on the website.

And I also want to maintain the aspect ratio so that a portrait image doesn't get stretched and a landscape image doesn't get squeezed.That is without changing the actual dimensions of the image.

Answer 1

First convert your images to Jpeg, gif and png images as these are compressed images.

In addition you can use ImageMagick to compress the image: Recommendation for compressing JPG files with ImageMagick
