I have a php script to create jpg thumbnail of pdf as follows;
<?php
$file ="test.pdf";
$im = new imagick(realpath($file).'[0]');
$im->setImageFormat("jpg");
$im->resizeImage(200,200,1,0);
// start buffering
ob_start();
$thumbnail = $im->getImageBlob();
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo "<img src='data:image/jpg;base64,".base64_encode($thumbnail)."' />";
?>
But the resulting jpg have black background instead of white.. How can I fix this??
None of the previously posted answers worked for me however the below did:
$image = new Imagick;
$image->setResolution(300, 300);
$image->readImage("{$originalPath}[0]");
$image->setImageFormat('jpg');
$image->scaleImage(500, 500, true);
$image->setImageAlphaChannel(Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_WHITE);
As I’m using the Laravel framework I then take the converted image and store it using Laravels filesystem.
Storage::put($storePath, $image->getImageBlob());
Update: So I recently changed OS and whereas this previously worked on my Ubuntu machine on my Mac certain images were still coming out black.
I had to change the script to the below:
$image = new Imagick;
$image->setResolution(300, 300);
$image->setBackgroundColor('white');
$image->readImage("{$originalPath}[0]");
$image->setImageFormat('jpg');
$image->scaleImage(500, 500, true);
$image->mergeImageLayers(Imagick::LAYERMETHOD_FLATTEN);
$image->setImageAlphaChannel(Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_REMOVE);
Seems important to set the background colour before reading in the image. I also flatten any possible layers and remove the alpha channel. I feel like I tried ALPHACHANNEL_REMOVE
on my Ubuntu machine and it didn’t work so hopefully between these answers readers can find something that works for them.
Answer:
If your version of Imagick is not up to date, the setImageBackgroundColor may be wrong.
Swap the following line
$im->setImageBackgroundColor("red");
to this (Imagick version >= 2.1.0)
$im->setBackgroundColor(new ImagickPixel("red"));
or (Imagick version < 2.1.0)
$im->setBackgroundColor("red");
Answer:
I solved it by;
$im = new imagick(realpath($file).'[0]');
$im->setCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
$im->setCompressionQuality(100);
$im->setImageFormat("jpeg");
$im->writeImage("imagename.jpg");
Answer:
Simply adding this prevents the JPG to be created with a black background
-alpha off
Answer:
change this code $im->setimageformat("jpg");
to this code
$im->setimageformat("png");
if you face a background colour issue.
