Converting images to another format with phMAgick

August 9, 2009 by nuno costa 4 comments

phMagick->convert()

Use this function to convert an image to another format

$p = new phmagick('source.jpg', 'destination.png');
$p->convert();

This example converts source.jpg to destination.png, optionaly setImageQuality() can be used to specify the quality of the new image

@johny

I’ve never tried converting pdf to gif’s, but there is no reason why it can’t be done

conversion to pdf works! pdf-to-png gives me smallest output size.

but pdf’s larger than about 200 Kb come out distorted. is there any way to control the resolution, color depth, or any other conversion options?

thanks!

i’m also finding very large pdf’s (600 Kb, maybe less) don’t get processed at all.
