Resize uploaded images

How do you resize uploaded images

With the Smart Image Processor Extension you can resize your uploaded files and make them the size you want.
In this tutorial we will walk you step by step through the process of uploading images with Pure ASP Upload to a folder on the server and resizing them to the size you want them to be with Smart Image Processor.

This is the process for the user:

1. The user will request the page with the file upload from the server.

2. The user will select the image to be uploaded from his/her computer and click submit.

3. The page is uploaded to the server where the image is resized and put into the folder you specified.

Page processing flow: 1. Images are saved in a folder 2. Images are resized 3. Images are saved with their original name, but end with .jpg

How to do it
