$image = "[...]"; //binary string containing PNG image
$file = fopen('image.tmp', 'wb');
fputs($file, $image);
fclose($file);
$image = new Imagick('PNG:image.tmp');
$image->thumbnailImage($width, $height);
$image->setImageFormat('jpg');
$image->setCompressionQuality(97);
$image->writeImage('image.jpg');
The above doesn't work and gives me a black image for this image. When doing instead
[...]
$image->setImageFormat('png');
$image->setCompressionQuality(97);
$image->writeImage('image.png');
all is fine again. I think it has to do something with transparent background, which isn't available in JPG format. Can anyone help to solve this (imagick isn't documented very well, so I don't know how to help myself).
Found a solution:
$white=new Imagick();
$white->newImage($width, $height, "white");
$white->compositeimage($image, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0);
$white->setImageFormat('jpg');
$white->writeImage('image.jpg');
Another way to convert transparent png to jpg, as mentioned in Imagick::flattenImages:
$im = new Imagick('image.png');
$im->setImageBackgroundColor('white');
$im->flattenImages(); // This does not do anything.
$im = $im->flattenImages(); // Use this instead.
$im->setImageFormat('jpg');
$im->writeImage('image.jpg');
As time moves on, flattenImages()
has been deprecated.
Instead of the line above use:
$im->mergeImageLayers(Imagick::LAYERMETHOD_FLATTEN);
You can use setBackgroundColor
to set the default background color to something else than black. The PNG transparency will be replaced by the background color when saving to JPG.
Edit: Use it like so:
$img->setBackgroundColor(new ImagickPixel('#FFFFFF'));
Try adding $image->setBackgroundColor(0xFFFFFF);
after $image = new Imagick('PNG:image.tmp');
