Hi All,

I have created a little script of code to upload an image that has been resized.

This is working fine but the problem I have is that when the image is resized and saved, the size(KB) of the image has increased.

EG. I test uploaded one of the pictures that come in the my pictures directory which had a size of around 70KB and dimensions of 800 x 600. When I resize the image to 400 x 300, the size has increased to around 300KB.

Can anyone help with this or explain why it happens,

Thanks.

This is probably because you are using the System.Drawing namespace. When you open a file as an "Image" class, it lives in memory as a BMP. So when you save, it's as a raw BMP. You need to save it to a stream in the particular format you want (JPG/GIF/PNG), then save the stream to a file. Then the file will be smaller than the original.
