I contend that images (files) are NOT usually stored in a database base64 encoded. Instead, they are stored in their raw binary form in a binary column, blob column, or file. Base64 is only used as a transport mechanism, not for storage. For example, you can embed a base64 encoded image into an XML document … Read more
You can use one commandline with two commands (gs, convert) connected through a pipe, if the first command can write its output to stdout, and if the second one can read its input from stdin. Luckily, gs can write to stdout (… -o %stdout …). Luckily, convert can read from stdin (convert -background transparent – … Read more

resize -resize 400×300+20+30 (like the -scale and -sample examples below) converts an input to an output image which has the pixel dimensions of 400×300. It also shifts the output by 20 pixels to the right and by 30 pixels to the bottom. Additionally, there are a few more differences to -scale: -resize does support an … Read more

This is as short and sweet as it can get: if (!extension_loaded(‘imagick’)) echo ‘imagick not installed’;
Use the auto-orient option of ImageMagick’s convert to do this. convert your-image.jpg -auto-orient output.jpg Or use mogrifyto do it in place mogrify -auto-orient your-image.jpg
