imgman
======

[](#imgman)

This library uses GD and EXIF (optional) PHP extensions so make sure you have them installed.

It also uses the latest PHP 8.1 features and backwards compatibility isn't yet supported.

Install:
--------

[](#install)

```
composer require leongrdic/imgman

```

```
use \Le\ImgMan\{ImgMan, ImageFormat};
```

Supported formats
-----------------

[](#supported-formats)

### Input

[](#input)

- any image format supported by php-gd

Input methods: `fromDataUrl()`, `fromString()`, `fromFile()`

### Output

[](#output)

Call the `output()` method with the wanted output format:

- `ImageFormat::jpeg`
- `ImageFormat::png`
- `ImageFormat::webp` (make sure your php-gd is configured to work with webp)

After that use: `toDataUrl()`, `toString()`, `toFile()`

Example usages
--------------

[](#example-usages)

```
$rawImageBytes = (new ImgMan)
    ->fromDataUrl($dataUrlFromJS)
    ->cacheExif()
    ->downscale(2048)
    ->rotateFromExif() // rotating after downscaling should use less memory and be a bit faster
    ->output(ImageFormat::jpeg, quality: 75)
    ->toString();
```

```
(new ImgMan)
    ->fromFile('example.png')
    ->downscale(1920, 1080)
    ->output(ImageFormat::png)
    ->toFile(); // use input filename (replace original file)
```

```
$dataUrl = (new ImgMan)
    ->fromString($rawImageBytes)
    ->output(ImageFormat::webp, quality: 80)
    ->toDataUrl();
```
