Compress and decompress file before saving to disk


In my application i have one web service which getting one file from FormData(client side) and i want to compress that file before saving to disk(without using extra folder).

i read a lot of answers from here but i got confused, which method i will use in code behind to achieve better compression.and also i want to decompress that file on the time of access.

Currently in code behind i am using bellow code to save the file directly.

var httpPostedFile = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["UploadedImage"];
// Get the complete file path
var fileSavePath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Download/"), httpPostedFile.FileName);
// Save the uploaded file to "UploadedFiles" folder
httpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileSavePath);

Solution

  • We can do this by different ways,

    one of the best way is convert all images into jpeg,because it will give better clarity with less size,in this we don't need to change any height or width of the particular image

    method 1 : convert all images into jpeg(no additional compression needed)

      private static void VaryQualityLevel(Image imgToResize,string imageName)
          {
            // Get a bitmap.
            Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(imgToResize);
            ImageCodecInfo jgpEncoder = GetEncoder(ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    
            // Create an Encoder object based on the GUID
            // for the Quality parameter category.
            System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder myEncoder =
                System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality;
    
            // Create an EncoderParameters object.
            // An EncoderParameters object has an array of EncoderParameter
            // objects. In this case, there is only one
            // EncoderParameter object in the array.
            EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
    
            EncoderParameter myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder,
                50L);
            myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
    
            var fileSavePath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Download/"), imageName+".jpeg");
            bmp1.Save(fileSavePath, jgpEncoder,
                myEncoderParameters);
    
            //myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 100L);
            //myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
            //fileSavePath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Download/"), "TestPhotoQuality100.jpeg");
            //bmp1.Save(fileSavePath, jgpEncoder,
            //    myEncoderParameters);
    
            // Save the bitmap as a JPG file with 75 quality level compression.
            myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 75L);
            //myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
            //fileSavePath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Download/"), "TestPhotoQuality75.jpeg");
            //bmp1.Save(fileSavePath, jgpEncoder,
            //    myEncoderParameters);
    
        }
    
        private static ImageCodecInfo GetEncoder(ImageFormat format)
        {
    
            ImageCodecInfo[] codecs = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageDecoders();
    
            foreach (ImageCodecInfo codec in codecs)
            {
                if (codec.FormatID == format.Guid)
                {
                    return codec;
                }
            }
            return null;
            }
    

    method 2: by changing the height and width of the image(without jpeg conversion)
