Changing Size of PictureBox in Stretch Size Mode to achieve closest Aspect Ratio Match [duplicate]

I'm trying to resize an image while preserving the aspect ratio from the original image so the new image doesn't look squashed.
eg:
Convert a 150*100 image into a 150*150 image.
The extra 50 pixels of the height need to be padded with a white background color.
This is the current code I am using.
It works well for resizing but changing the aspect ratio of the original image squashes the new image.
private void resizeImage(string path, string originalFilename,
int width, int height)
{
Image image = Image.FromFile(path + originalFilename);
System.Drawing.Image thumbnail = new Bitmap(width, height);
System.Drawing.Graphics graphic =
System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(thumbnail);
graphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
graphic.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
graphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
graphic.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height);
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo[] info =
ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
EncoderParameters encoderParameters;
encoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
encoderParameters.Param[0] = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.Quality,
100L);
thumbnail.Save(path + width + "." + originalFilename, info[1],
encoderParameters);
}
EDIT: I'd like to have the image padded instead of cropped

This should do it.
private void resizeImage(string path, string originalFilename,
/* note changed names */
int canvasWidth, int canvasHeight,
/* new */
int originalWidth, int originalHeight)
{
Image image = Image.FromFile(path + originalFilename);
System.Drawing.Image thumbnail =
new Bitmap(canvasWidth, canvasHeight); // changed parm names
System.Drawing.Graphics graphic =
System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(thumbnail);
graphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
graphic.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
graphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
/* ------------------ new code --------------- */
// Figure out the ratio
double ratioX = (double) canvasWidth / (double) originalWidth;
double ratioY = (double) canvasHeight / (double) originalHeight;
// use whichever multiplier is smaller
double ratio = ratioX < ratioY ? ratioX : ratioY;
// now we can get the new height and width
int newHeight = Convert.ToInt32(originalHeight * ratio);
int newWidth = Convert.ToInt32(originalWidth * ratio);
// Now calculate the X,Y position of the upper-left corner
// (one of these will always be zero)
int posX = Convert.ToInt32((canvasWidth - (originalWidth * ratio)) / 2);
int posY = Convert.ToInt32((canvasHeight - (originalHeight * ratio)) / 2);
graphic.Clear(Color.White); // white padding
graphic.DrawImage(image, posX, posY, newWidth, newHeight);
/* ------------- end new code ---------------- */
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo[] info =
ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
EncoderParameters encoderParameters;
encoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
encoderParameters.Param[0] = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.Quality,
100L);
thumbnail.Save(path + newWidth + "." + originalFilename, info[1],
encoderParameters);
}
Edited to add:
Those who want to improve this code should put it in the comments, or a new answer. Don't edit this code directly.

I found out how to resize AND pad the image by learning from this this CodeProject Article.
static Image FixedSize(Image imgPhoto, int Width, int Height)
{
int sourceWidth = imgPhoto.Width;
int sourceHeight = imgPhoto.Height;
int sourceX = 0;
int sourceY = 0;
int destX = 0;
int destY = 0;
float nPercent = 0;
float nPercentW = 0;
float nPercentH = 0;
nPercentW = ((float)Width / (float)sourceWidth);
nPercentH = ((float)Height / (float)sourceHeight);
if (nPercentH < nPercentW)
{
nPercent = nPercentH;
destX = System.Convert.ToInt16((Width -
(sourceWidth * nPercent)) / 2);
}
else
{
nPercent = nPercentW;
destY = System.Convert.ToInt16((Height -
(sourceHeight * nPercent)) / 2);
}
int destWidth = (int)(sourceWidth * nPercent);
int destHeight = (int)(sourceHeight * nPercent);
Bitmap bmPhoto = new Bitmap(Width, Height,
PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
bmPhoto.SetResolution(imgPhoto.HorizontalResolution,
imgPhoto.VerticalResolution);
Graphics grPhoto = Graphics.FromImage(bmPhoto);
grPhoto.Clear(Color.Red);
grPhoto.InterpolationMode =
InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
grPhoto.DrawImage(imgPhoto,
new Rectangle(destX, destY, destWidth, destHeight),
new Rectangle(sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight),
GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
grPhoto.Dispose();
return bmPhoto;
}

I use the following method to calculate the desired image size:
using System.Drawing;
public static Size ResizeKeepAspect(this Size src, int maxWidth, int maxHeight, bool enlarge = false)
{
maxWidth = enlarge ? maxWidth : Math.Min(maxWidth, src.Width);
maxHeight = enlarge ? maxHeight : Math.Min(maxHeight, src.Height);
decimal rnd = Math.Min(maxWidth / (decimal)src.Width, maxHeight / (decimal)src.Height);
return new Size((int)Math.Round(src.Width * rnd), (int)Math.Round(src.Height * rnd));
}
This puts the problem of aspect ratio and dimensions in a separate method.
What does the parameter bool enlarge = false ?
usually you do only shrinking of images because enlarging means quality loss - so I added this optional parameter if you want to do it anyway

To get a faster result, the function that obtains the size could be found in resultSize:
Size original = new Size(640, 480);
int maxSize = 100;
float percent = (new List<float> { (float)maxSize / (float)original.Width , (float)maxSize / (float)original.Height }).Min();
Size resultSize = new Size((int)Math.Floor(original.Width * percent), (int)Math.Floor(original.Height * percent));
Uses Linq to minimize variable and recalculations, as well as unnecesary if/else statements

Just generalizing it down to aspect ratios and sizes, image stuff can be done outside of this function
public static d.RectangleF ScaleRect(d.RectangleF dest, d.RectangleF src,
bool keepWidth, bool keepHeight)
{
d.RectangleF destRect = new d.RectangleF();
float sourceAspect = src.Width / src.Height;
float destAspect = dest.Width / dest.Height;
if (sourceAspect > destAspect)
{
// wider than high keep the width and scale the height
destRect.Width = dest.Width;
destRect.Height = dest.Width / sourceAspect;
if (keepHeight)
{
float resizePerc = dest.Height / destRect.Height;
destRect.Width = dest.Width * resizePerc;
destRect.Height = dest.Height;
}
}
else
{
// higher than wide – keep the height and scale the width
destRect.Height = dest.Height;
destRect.Width = dest.Height * sourceAspect;
if (keepWidth)
{
float resizePerc = dest.Width / destRect.Width;
destRect.Width = dest.Width;
destRect.Height = dest.Height * resizePerc;
}
}
return destRect;
}

I'm going to add my code here too. This code will allow you resize an image with or without the aspect ratio being enforced or to resize with padding. This is a modified version of egrunin's code.

{

}
else
{

}
}
var thumbnail = new Bitmap(canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
var graphic = Graphics.FromImage(thumbnail);
if (enforceRatio && addPadding)
{
graphic.Clear(Color.White);
}
graphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
graphic.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
graphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
graphic.DrawImage(image, xPosition, yPosition, newImageWidth, newImageHeight);
thumbnail.Save(newPath + "\\" + newFileName, imageEncoders[1], encoderParameters);
}
}
}

Here's a less specific extension method that works with Image rather than doing the loading and saving for you. It also allows you to specify interpolation method and correctly renders edges when you use NearestNeighbour interpolation.
The image will be rendered within the bounds of the area you specify so you always know your output width and height. e.g:
namespace YourApp

}
double ratioW = (double)newWidth / (double)image.Width;

int insideWidth = (int)(image.Width * ratio);

gfx.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle((newWidth / 2) - (insideWidth / 2), (newHeight / 2) - (insideHeight / 2), insideWidth, insideHeight));
}
return output;
}
}
}

I created a extension method that is much simpiler than the answers that are posted.
and the aspect ratio is applied without cropping the image.

var scale = Math.Min(height / (float)image.Height, width / (float)image.Width);
return image.GetThumbnailImage((int)(image.Width * scale), (int)(image.Height * scale), () => false, IntPtr.Zero);
}
Example usage:
using (var img = Image.FromFile(pathToOriginalImage)) {
using (var thumbnail = img.Resize(60, 60)){
// Here you can do whatever you need to do with thumnail
}
}

I just wrote this cos none of the answers already here were simple enough. You can replace the hardcoded 128 for whatever you want or base them off the size of the original image. All i wanted was to rescale the image into a 128x128 image, keeping the aspect ratio and centering the result in the new image.
private Bitmap CreateLargeIconForImage(Bitmap src)
{
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(128, 128);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
float scale = Math.Max((float)src.Width / 128.0f, (float)src.Height / 128.0f);
PointF p = new PointF(128.0f - ((float)src.Width / scale), 128.0f - ((float)src.Height / scale));
SizeF size = new SizeF((float)src.Width / scale, (float)src.Height / scale);
g.DrawImage(src, new RectangleF(p, size));
return bmp;
}

I know this is an older thread. However, this is the first result in a Google search on the topic.
None of the answers fit my requirement. So, here's a solution I put together by understanding the older solutions, but limiting the result image size to the most suitable height and width.
double ratioW = (double)desiredWidthPixels / (double)originalImage.Width;
double ratioH = (double)desiredHeightPixels / (double)originalImage.Height;
double ratio = ratioW < ratioH ? ratioW : ratioH;
int suitableWidth = (int)(originalImage.Width * ratio);
int suitableHeight = (int)(originalImage.Height * ratio);
var resizedPhoto = new Bitmap((int)suitableWidth, (int)suitableHeight);
var graphicsSurface = Graphics.FromImage(resizedPhoto);
graphicsSurface.DrawImage(originalImage, new RectangleF(new PointF(0,0), new SizeF(suitableWidth, suitableHeight)));

Image resize results in an image with original dimensions

I am trying to resize images. This code results in images with the original dimensions (no resize is performed).
Image original = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("~/SavedFiles/Audios/") + fileNameF);
Image resized = ResizeImage(original, new Size(200, 200));
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
resized.Save(memStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
On button click, I am calling this code:
public static Image ResizeImage(Image image, Size size, bool preserveAspectRatio = true)
{
int newWidth;
int newHeight;
if (preserveAspectRatio)
{
int originalWidth = image.Width;
int originalHeight = image.Height;
float percentWidth = (float)size.Width / (float)originalWidth;
float percentHeight = (float)size.Height / (float)originalHeight;
float percent = percentHeight < percentWidth ? percentHeight : percentWidth;
newWidth = (int)(originalWidth * percent);
newHeight = (int)(originalHeight * percent);
}
else
{
newWidth = size.Width;
newHeight = size.Height;
}
Image newImage = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight);
using (Graphics graphicsHandle = Graphics.FromImage(image))
{
graphicsHandle.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphicsHandle.DrawImage(newImage, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
}
return newImage;
}

This is how I do it based on your code, I tested is using my image in the file and locate it in the specified folder too. It works fine. Your code only have but small issues (see my comments on the Stream and especially in the newImage declaration):
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
Image original = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\ChessSet_Orig.JPG");
Image resized = ResizeImage(original, new Size(200, 200));
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(Application.StartupPath + "\\ChessSet_resized.JPG", FileMode.Create); //I use file stream instead of Memory stream here
resized.Save(fileStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
fileStream.Close(); //close after use
}
public static Image ResizeImage(Image image, Size size, bool preserveAspectRatio = true) {
int newWidth;
int newHeight;
if (preserveAspectRatio) {
int originalWidth = image.Width;
int originalHeight = image.Height;
float percentWidth = (float)size.Width / (float)originalWidth;
float percentHeight = (float)size.Height / (float)originalHeight;
float percent = percentHeight < percentWidth ? percentHeight : percentWidth;
newWidth = (int)(originalWidth * percent);
newHeight = (int)(originalHeight * percent);
} else {
newWidth = size.Width;
newHeight = size.Height;
}
Image newImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(image, newWidth, newHeight); // I specify the new image from the original together with the new width and height
using (Graphics graphicsHandle = Graphics.FromImage(image)) {
graphicsHandle.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphicsHandle.DrawImage(newImage, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
}
return newImage;
}
Here is the result,
The original image size is 820 x 760

Resizing image get damage in pixel

My requirement is to resize an image if it is bigger than 800 X 600 pixels. I have to resize it to 800 X 600 resolution as per aspect ratio.
I am using below code to re-size it:
public string ResizeUserImage(string fullFileName, int maxHeight, int maxWidth, string newFileName)
{
string savepath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("//InitiativeImage//");
try
{
using (Image originalImage = Image.FromFile(fullFileName))
{
int height = originalImage.Height;
int width = originalImage.Width;
int newHeight = maxHeight;
int newWidth = maxWidth;
if (height > maxHeight || width > maxWidth)
{
if (height > maxHeight)
{
newHeight = maxHeight;
float temp = ((float)width / (float)height) * (float)maxHeight;
newWidth = Convert.ToInt32(temp);
height = newHeight;
width = newWidth;
}
if (width > maxWidth)
{
newWidth = maxWidth;
float temp = ((float)height / (float)width) * (float)maxWidth;
newHeight = Convert.ToInt32(temp);
}
Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort abort = new Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback);
using (Image resizedImage = originalImage.GetThumbnailImage(newWidth, newHeight, abort, System.IntPtr.Zero))
{
//When image is compress then store the image
var guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
string latestFileName = guid + Path.GetExtension(newFileName);
resizedImage.Save(savepath + #"\" + latestFileName);
string finalPath = AppSettings.Domain + "InitiativeImage/" + latestFileName;
return finalPath;
}
}
else if (fullFileName != newFileName)
{
//var guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//newFileName = guid + Path.GetExtension(newFileName);
//// no resizing necessary, but need to create new file
//originalImage.Save(savepath + #"\" + newFileName);
//string finalPath = AppSettings.Domain + "UserImage/" + newFileName;
return newFileName;
}
return fullFileName;
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
It works perfect but resizing image gets damaged in pixel.
See below original image which I am uploading to the server:
After re-sizing it, it is damages like below image:
Hope you got my question. The resized image get damage in pixel. Please let me know where I am wrong or where is the issue.

Pls try out below function.

From the documentation on Image.GetThumbnailImage method:
The GetThumbnailImage method works well when the requested thumbnail image has a size of about 120 x 120 pixels. If you request a large thumbnail image (for example, 300 x 300) from an Image that has an embedded thumbnail, there could be a noticeable loss of quality in the thumbnail image. It might be better to scale the main image (instead of scaling the embedded thumbnail) by calling the DrawImage method.
But your objective size is around 800x600 pixels, which is way above the indented use.
Thus, I recommend you to take a look at this answer about image resizing.

Resize image in C# with aspect ratio and crop central image so there are no gaps

I'm trying to resize user uploaded images to a landscape dimensions e.g. 450w and 250h while maintaining aspect ratio, but to avoid resized images like portrait images having gaps on the side I would like to crop the centre of the image to fill the resized dimensions.
I have found plenty of code to resize images while maintaining aspect ratio but not what I am looking for above, I'm hoping someone can help.

You should pass needToFill = true:
public static System.Drawing.Image FixedSize(Image image, int Width, int Height, bool needToFill)
{
#region calculations
int sourceWidth = image.Width;
int sourceHeight = image.Height;
int sourceX = 0;
int sourceY = 0;
double destX = 0;
double destY = 0;
double nScale = 0;
double nScaleW = 0;
double nScaleH = 0;
nScaleW = ((double)Width / (double)sourceWidth);
nScaleH = ((double)Height / (double)sourceHeight);
if (!needToFill)
{
nScale = Math.Min(nScaleH, nScaleW);
}
else
{
nScale = Math.Max(nScaleH, nScaleW);
destY = (Height - sourceHeight * nScale) / 2;
destX = (Width - sourceWidth * nScale) / 2;
}
if (nScale > 1)
nScale = 1;
int destWidth = (int)Math.Round(sourceWidth * nScale);
int destHeight = (int)Math.Round(sourceHeight * nScale);
#endregion
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmPhoto = null;
try
{
bmPhoto = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(destWidth + (int)Math.Round(2 * destX), destHeight + (int)Math.Round(2 * destY));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("destWidth:{0}, destX:{1}, destHeight:{2}, desxtY:{3}, Width:{4}, Height:{5}",
destWidth, destX, destHeight, destY, Width, Height), ex);
}
using (System.Drawing.Graphics grPhoto = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmPhoto))
{
grPhoto.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
grPhoto.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
grPhoto.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
Rectangle to = new System.Drawing.Rectangle((int)Math.Round(destX), (int)Math.Round(destY), destWidth, destHeight);
Rectangle from = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight);

grPhoto.DrawImage(image, to, from, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

How to resize an Image C#

As Size, Width and Height are Get() properties of System.Drawing.Image;
How can I resize an Image object at run-time in C#?
Right now, I am just creating a new Image using:
// objImage is the original Image
Bitmap objBitmap = new Bitmap(objImage, new Size(227, 171));

This will perform a high quality resize:
/// <summary>
/// Resize the image to the specified width and height.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="image">The image to resize.</param>
/// <param name="width">The width to resize to.</param>
/// <param name="height">The height to resize to.</param>
/// <returns>The resized image.</returns>
public static Bitmap ResizeImage(Image image, int width, int height)
{
var destRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
var destImage = new Bitmap(width, height);
destImage.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution, image.VerticalResolution);
using (var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(destImage))
{
graphics.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceCopy;
graphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
using (var wrapMode = new ImageAttributes())
{
wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY);
graphics.DrawImage(image, destRect, 0, 0, image.Width,image.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, wrapMode);
}
}
return destImage;
}
wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY) prevents ghosting around the image borders -- naïve resizing will sample transparent pixels beyond the image boundaries, but by mirroring the image we can get a better sample (this setting is very noticeable)
destImage.SetResolution maintains DPI regardless of physical size -- may increase quality when reducing image dimensions or when printing
Compositing controls how pixels are blended with the background -- might not be needed since we're only drawing one thing.
graphics.CompositingMode determines whether pixels from a source image overwrite or are combined with background pixels. SourceCopy specifies that when a color is rendered, it overwrites the background color.
graphics.CompositingQuality determines the rendering quality level of layered images.
graphics.InterpolationMode determines how intermediate values between two endpoints are calculated
graphics.SmoothingMode specifies whether lines, curves, and the edges of filled areas use smoothing (also called antialiasing) -- probably only works on vectors
graphics.PixelOffsetMode affects rendering quality when drawing the new image
Maintaining aspect ratio is left as an exercise for the reader (actually, I just don't think it's this function's job to do that for you).
Also, this is a good article describing some of the pitfalls with image resizing. The above function will cover most of them, but you still have to worry about saving.

Not sure what is so difficult about this, do what you were doing, use the overloaded Bitmap constructor to create a re-sized image, the only thing you were missing was a cast back to the Image data type:
public static Image resizeImage(Image imgToResize, Size size)
{
return (Image)(new Bitmap(imgToResize, size));
}
yourImage = resizeImage(yourImage, new Size(50,50));

in this question, you'll have some answers, including mine:
public Image resizeImage(int newWidth, int newHeight, string stPhotoPath)
{
Image imgPhoto = Image.FromFile(stPhotoPath);
int sourceWidth = imgPhoto.Width;
int sourceHeight = imgPhoto.Height;
//Consider vertical pics
if (sourceWidth < sourceHeight)
{
int buff = newWidth;
newWidth = newHeight;
newHeight = buff;
}
int sourceX = 0, sourceY = 0, destX = 0, destY = 0;
float nPercent = 0, nPercentW = 0, nPercentH = 0;
nPercentW = ((float)newWidth / (float)sourceWidth);
nPercentH = ((float)newHeight / (float)sourceHeight);
if (nPercentH < nPercentW)
{
nPercent = nPercentH;
destX = System.Convert.ToInt16((newWidth -
(sourceWidth * nPercent)) / 2);
}
else
{
nPercent = nPercentW;
destY = System.Convert.ToInt16((newHeight -
(sourceHeight * nPercent)) / 2);
}
int destWidth = (int)(sourceWidth * nPercent);
int destHeight = (int)(sourceHeight * nPercent);
Bitmap bmPhoto = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight,
PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
bmPhoto.SetResolution(imgPhoto.HorizontalResolution,
imgPhoto.VerticalResolution);
Graphics grPhoto = Graphics.FromImage(bmPhoto);
grPhoto.Clear(Color.Black);
grPhoto.InterpolationMode =
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
grPhoto.DrawImage(imgPhoto,
new Rectangle(destX, destY, destWidth, destHeight),
new Rectangle(sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight),
GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
grPhoto.Dispose();
imgPhoto.Dispose();
return bmPhoto;
}

You could try net-vips, the C# binding for libvips. It's a lazy, streaming, demand-driven image processing library, so it can do operations like this without needing to load the whole image.
For example, it comes with a handy image thumbnailer:
using Image image = Image.Thumbnail("image.jpg", 300, 300);
image.WriteToFile("my-thumbnail.jpg");
It also supports smart crop, a way of intelligently determining the most important part of the image and keeping it in focus while cropping the image. For example:
using Image image = Image.Thumbnail("owl.jpg", 128, crop: Enums.Interesting.Attention);
image.WriteToFile("tn_owl.jpg");
Where owl.jpg is an off-centre composition:
Gives this result:
First it shrinks the image to get the vertical axis to 128 pixels, then crops down to 128 pixels across using the attention strategy. This one searches the image for features which might catch a human eye, see Smartcrop() for details.

Why not use the System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImage method?
public Image GetThumbnailImage(
int thumbWidth,
int thumbHeight,
Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort callback,
IntPtr callbackData)
Example:
Image originalImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(inputStream, true, true);
Image resizedImage = originalImage.GetThumbnailImage(newWidth, (newWidth * originalImage.Height) / originalWidth, null, IntPtr.Zero);
resizedImage.Save(imagePath, ImageFormat.Png);
Source:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.image.getthumbnailimage.aspx

public static Image resizeImage(Image image, int new_height, int new_width)
{
Bitmap new_image = new Bitmap(new_width, new_height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage((Image)new_image );
g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.High;
g.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, new_width, new_height);
return new_image;
}

This will -
Resize width AND height without the need for a loop
Doesn't exceed the images original dimensions
//////////////
private void ResizeImage(Image img, double maxWidth, double maxHeight)
{
double resizeWidth = img.Source.Width;
double resizeHeight = img.Source.Height;
double aspect = resizeWidth / resizeHeight;
if (resizeWidth > maxWidth)
{
resizeWidth = maxWidth;
resizeHeight = resizeWidth / aspect;
}
if (resizeHeight > maxHeight)
{
aspect = resizeWidth / resizeHeight;
resizeHeight = maxHeight;
resizeWidth = resizeHeight * aspect;
}
img.Width = resizeWidth;
img.Height = resizeHeight;
}

This code is same as posted from one of above answers.. but will convert transparent pixel to white instead of black ... Thanks:)
public Image resizeImage(int newWidth, int newHeight, string stPhotoPath)
{
Image imgPhoto = Image.FromFile(stPhotoPath);
int sourceWidth = imgPhoto.Width;
int sourceHeight = imgPhoto.Height;
//Consider vertical pics
if (sourceWidth < sourceHeight)
{
int buff = newWidth;
newWidth = newHeight;
newHeight = buff;
}
int sourceX = 0, sourceY = 0, destX = 0, destY = 0;
float nPercent = 0, nPercentW = 0, nPercentH = 0;
nPercentW = ((float)newWidth / (float)sourceWidth);
nPercentH = ((float)newHeight / (float)sourceHeight);
if (nPercentH < nPercentW)
{
nPercent = nPercentH;
destX = System.Convert.ToInt16((newWidth -
(sourceWidth * nPercent)) / 2);
}
else
{
nPercent = nPercentW;
destY = System.Convert.ToInt16((newHeight -
(sourceHeight * nPercent)) / 2);
}
int destWidth = (int)(sourceWidth * nPercent);
int destHeight = (int)(sourceHeight * nPercent);
Bitmap bmPhoto = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight,
PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
bmPhoto.SetResolution(imgPhoto.HorizontalResolution,
imgPhoto.VerticalResolution);
Graphics grPhoto = Graphics.FromImage(bmPhoto);
grPhoto.Clear(Color.White);
grPhoto.InterpolationMode =
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
grPhoto.DrawImage(imgPhoto,
new Rectangle(destX, destY, destWidth, destHeight),
new Rectangle(sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight),
GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
grPhoto.Dispose();
imgPhoto.Dispose();
return bmPhoto;
}

This is the code that I worked out for a specific requirement ie: the destination is always in landscape ratio. It should give you a good start.
public Image ResizeImage(Image source, RectangleF destinationBounds)
{
RectangleF sourceBounds = new RectangleF(0.0f,0.0f,(float)source.Width, (float)source.Height);
RectangleF scaleBounds = new RectangleF();
Image destinationImage = new Bitmap((int)destinationBounds.Width, (int)destinationBounds.Height);
Graphics graph = Graphics.FromImage(destinationImage);
graph.InterpolationMode =
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
// Fill with background color
graph.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.White), destinationBounds);
float resizeRatio, sourceRatio;
float scaleWidth, scaleHeight;
sourceRatio = (float)source.Width / (float)source.Height;
if (sourceRatio >= 1.0f)
{
//landscape
resizeRatio = destinationBounds.Width / sourceBounds.Width;
scaleWidth = destinationBounds.Width;
scaleHeight = sourceBounds.Height * resizeRatio;
float trimValue = destinationBounds.Height - scaleHeight;
graph.DrawImage(source, 0, (trimValue / 2), destinationBounds.Width, scaleHeight);
}
else
{
//portrait
resizeRatio = destinationBounds.Height/sourceBounds.Height;
scaleWidth = sourceBounds.Width * resizeRatio;
scaleHeight = destinationBounds.Height;
float trimValue = destinationBounds.Width - scaleWidth;
graph.DrawImage(source, (trimValue / 2), 0, scaleWidth, destinationBounds.Height);
}
return destinationImage;
}

In the application I made it was necessary to create a function with multiple options. It's quite large, but it resizes the image, can keep the aspect ratio and can cut of the edges to return only the center of the image:
/// <summary>
/// Resize image with a directory as source
/// </summary>
/// <param name="OriginalFileLocation">Image location</param>
/// <param name="heigth">new height</param>
/// <param name="width">new width</param>
/// <param name="keepAspectRatio">keep the aspect ratio</param>
/// <param name="getCenter">return the center bit of the image</param>
/// <returns>image with new dimentions</returns>
public Image resizeImageFromFile(String OriginalFileLocation, int heigth, int width, Boolean keepAspectRatio, Boolean getCenter)
{
int newheigth = heigth;
System.Drawing.Image FullsizeImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(OriginalFileLocation);
// Prevent using images internal thumbnail
FullsizeImage.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone);
FullsizeImage.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone);
if (keepAspectRatio || getCenter)
{
int bmpY = 0;
double resize = (double)FullsizeImage.Width / (double)width;//get the resize vector
if (getCenter)
{
bmpY = (int)((FullsizeImage.Height - (heigth * resize)) / 2);// gives the Y value of the part that will be cut off, to show only the part in the center
Rectangle section = new Rectangle(new Point(0, bmpY), new Size(FullsizeImage.Width, (int)(heigth * resize)));// create the section to cut of the original image
//System.Console.WriteLine("the section that will be cut off: " + section.Size.ToString() + " the Y value is minimized by: " + bmpY);
Bitmap orImg = new Bitmap((Bitmap)FullsizeImage);//for the correct effect convert image to bitmap.
FullsizeImage.Dispose();//clear the original image
using (Bitmap tempImg = new Bitmap(section.Width, section.Height))
{
Graphics cutImg = Graphics.FromImage(tempImg);// set the file to save the new image to.
cutImg.DrawImage(orImg, 0, 0, section, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);// cut the image and save it to tempImg
FullsizeImage = tempImg;//save the tempImg as FullsizeImage for resizing later
orImg.Dispose();
cutImg.Dispose();
return FullsizeImage.GetThumbnailImage(width, heigth, null, IntPtr.Zero);
}
}
else newheigth = (int)(FullsizeImage.Height / resize);// set the new heigth of the current image
}//return the image resized to the given heigth and width
return FullsizeImage.GetThumbnailImage(width, newheigth, null, IntPtr.Zero);
}
To make it easier to acces the function it's possible to add some overloaded functions:
/// <summary>
/// Resize image with a directory as source
/// </summary>
/// <param name="OriginalFileLocation">Image location</param>
/// <param name="heigth">new height</param>
/// <param name="width">new width</param>
/// <returns>image with new dimentions</returns>
public Image resizeImageFromFile(String OriginalFileLocation, int heigth, int width)
{
return resizeImageFromFile(OriginalFileLocation, heigth, width, false, false);
}
/// <summary>
/// Resize image with a directory as source
/// </summary>
/// <param name="OriginalFileLocation">Image location</param>
/// <param name="heigth">new height</param>
/// <param name="width">new width</param>
/// <param name="keepAspectRatio">keep the aspect ratio</param>
/// <returns>image with new dimentions</returns>
public Image resizeImageFromFile(String OriginalFileLocation, int heigth, int width, Boolean keepAspectRatio)
{
return resizeImageFromFile(OriginalFileLocation, heigth, width, keepAspectRatio, false);
}
Now are the last two booleans optional to set.
Call the function like this:
System.Drawing.Image ResizedImage = resizeImageFromFile(imageLocation, 800, 400, true, true);

public string CreateThumbnail(int maxWidth, int maxHeight, string path)
{
var image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(path);
var ratioX = (double)maxWidth / image.Width;
var ratioY = (double)maxHeight / image.Height;
var ratio = Math.Min(ratioX, ratioY);
var newWidth = (int)(image.Width * ratio);
var newHeight = (int)(image.Height * ratio);
var newImage = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight);
Graphics thumbGraph = Graphics.FromImage(newImage);
thumbGraph.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
thumbGraph.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
//thumbGraph.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
thumbGraph.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
image.Dispose();
string fileRelativePath = "newsizeimages/" + maxWidth + Path.GetFileName(path);
newImage.Save(Server.MapPath(fileRelativePath), newImage.RawFormat);
return fileRelativePath;
}

If you're working with a BitmapSource:
var resizedBitmap = new TransformedBitmap(
bitmapSource,
new ScaleTransform(scaleX, scaleY));
If you want finer control over quality, run this first:
RenderOptions.SetBitmapScalingMode(
bitmapSource,
BitmapScalingMode.HighQuality);
(Default is BitmapScalingMode.Linear which is equivalent to BitmapScalingMode.LowQuality.)

Note: this will not work with ASP.Net Core because WebImage depends on System.Web, but on previous versions of ASP.Net I used this snippet many times and was useful.
String ThumbfullPath = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.FileName) + "80x80.jpg";
var ThumbfullPath2 = Path.Combine(ThumbfullPath, fileThumb);
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fullPath)))
{
var thumbnail = new WebImage(stream).Resize(80, 80);
thumbnail.Save(ThumbfullPath2, "jpg");
}

Use below function with below example for changing image size :
//Example :
System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image newImage = System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");
System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image temImag = FormatImage(newImage, 100, 100);
//image size modification unction
public static System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image FormatImage(System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image img, int outputWidth, int outputHeight)
{
Bitmap outputImage = null;
Graphics graphics = null;
try
{
outputImage = new Bitmap(outputWidth, outputHeight, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format16bppRgb555);
graphics = Graphics.FromImage(outputImage);
graphics.DrawImage(img, new Rectangle(0, 0, outputWidth, outputHeight),
new Rectangle(0, 0, img.Width, img.Height), GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
return outputImage;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return img;
}
}
