Distorted GIF files after Resize - shows black areas

[benhenny]

My script resizes JPGs just fine, but when it comes to GIFs, it jacks them up.

I use imageCreateFromGif() to open the GIF, then I resize it and use imageCopyResampled() and imageJpeg() to create a JPG out of it. But when I do, it resizes it and creates the JPG, but it also adds noise to the image in the form of black pixelization in various areas of the image.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback, but I figured it out myself. As with resampling images outside of PHP, you have to convert it to JPG first, then resize it:

Code: Select all

if ($file_name_extension == 'gif')
{
  $im_old = imageCreateFromGif($file_path);
  imageJpeg($im_old,$file_path,100);
  $im_old = imageCreateFromJpeg($file_path);
}
else if($file_name_extension == 'jpg')
{
  $im_old = imageCreateFromJpeg($file_path);
}
