How to compress Image in Java?

UPDATED: 02 December 2011


In Java there is no specific API to compress image. You have to go through bunch of codes to compress an image as per preferred size. Here I came with API that helps you to compress image on single method call and yes this is part of our own javaQuery API.

Features:
  • Compress image online / offline
  • Compress image as per your preferred size.
  • Supported File : *.png, *.jpg
/*
 * Image Resize ir = new ImageResize();
 * ir.compressImage("FileLink","Saveas", width, height);
 *
 * Offline : C:\\test.JPG
 * Online : Servlet, Struts, etc... String FileLink = getServletContext().getRealPath("/Your_Dir/");
 */
import javaQuery.j2ee.ImageResize;

public class compressImage {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ImageResize ir = new ImageResize();
        //compress original image
        ir.compressImage("C:\\test1.jpg", "default", 200, 200);
       //create another copy of image
        ir.compressImage("C:\\test1.jpg", "d:\\abc.jpg", 200, 200);
    }
}

Arguments:
  • 1st argument - Location of your image
  • 2nd argument - If you pass "default" then it will compress the original image. If you don't want to compress original image and want another compressed image from that with other name. say c:\\test1.jpg to c:\\test2.jpg
  • 3rd/4th argument - If you don't want to change width and height then set width = 0(zero) and height = 0(zero) . It'll compress image with original width and height (Compress File size).
