Q: 

Image compression and thumbnail creation for PHP

I need some PHP classes that deal with image processing in a good manner. I have made a thumbnail creator myself but the end result quality is just horrible.

Is it also possible to let PHP convert and save all images to one type. For example take an image(jpg,png,gif), compress it, resize it, and save as png.

Can anyone recommend some good classes for this.

A: 

You can look into the php gd library, or imageMagick, which has bindings for php.

Should I write this from scratch? Are there no classes available online that have these functions build in already?

Oh yeah I have bot gd and imageMagick installed.

You can't even imagine how **many** classes available online, @SaifJust google for PHP image resize. though its up to you - to write it from scratch or use ready made one

This is still not completely what I want. I don't see the option of converting the different file formats into one.

@Saif actually this script does far more than you even imagine to expect. But being too picky you just prove my point: noone can bring you what you want. So, good luck in search.

Thank you for your time

A: 

If you have access to command-line i'd recommend image magic. The comman-line version has the advantage that it includes several features for batch processing.
