I get larger sizes after cropping the image

I have never worked with pictures in java and I am a beginner in this. I need to make a function that will crop the images according to a certain ratio of width and height in the middle of the image.

enter image description here

Through REST Api I receive a MultipartFile which I pass to the image cropping function. I forward the image using file.getBytes().

Here is how I wrote the code for image crop function:

public static byte[] cropImage(byte[] data) {
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
        try {
            BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(bais);
            int width = img.getWidth();
            int height = img.getHeight();
            float aspectRatio = (float) 275 / (float) 160;
            int destWidth;
            int destHeight;
            int startX;
            int startY;

            if(width/height > aspectRatio) {
                destHeight = height;
                destWidth = Math.round(aspectRatio * height);
                startX = Math.round(( width - destWidth ) / 2);
                startY = 0;
            } else if (width/height < aspectRatio) {
                destWidth = width;
                destHeight = Math.round(width / aspectRatio);
                startX = 0;
                startY = Math.round((height - destHeight) / 2);
            } else {
                destWidth = width;
                destHeight = height;
                startX = 0;
                startY = 0;
            }
            BufferedImage dst = new BufferedImage(destWidth, destHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
            dst.getGraphics().drawImage(img, 0, 0, destWidth, destHeight, startX, startY, startX + destWidth, startY + destHeight, null);
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            ImageIO.write(dst, "png", baos);
            return baos.toByteArray();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("IOException in scale");
        }
    }

But when I crop the image the result is an image with a much larger size than the received image. I need help on how to solve this problem.

EDIT:

According to this answer, the size increases on this part of the code:

ImageIO.read (bais)

Is there any other way to convert an image from byte array to buffered image but keep the size of the original image?

Solution

  • I don’t know why, but the problem was in part ImageIO.write(dst, "png", baos);

    I was trying with different types of images (png, jpg, jpeg) and only with png did it reduce my image size. While in the situation when I changed to jpeg it reduced the size in all images.
