Create PHP Thumbnails On The Fly
In brief:
The web is great for displaying photos to family and friends, but producing web-friendly photos with thumbnails can be a real chore. I wanted to produce a script which would create a thumbnail image from a full size photo.
The Process:
For this to work, the GD library is needed.
I make no claims as to the code above being my own work – it is a bastardisation of various snippets found around the web, particularly the official PHP site.
If you would like help in implementing this, please leave a comment below.
The Prologue:
- Requires GD to be installed on server.
- High load on server?

Hi.
I think i can create the php file correct, but i don’t know how to display the image in the browser
Can you help me?
Your script can only create thumbnails from JPG images. I’ve found php thumbnail generator which can create thumbnails from JPG, PNG, and GIF images on the fly. It can save thumb on server or output it directly to the browser (useful if you do not have a lot of disk space). Very easy to use. Proportional thumbnail (not distorted). Maybe you’ll also find it useful. It is free.
