How can I write an application that will crop images in C#?
Simpler than the accepted answer is this:
public static Bitmap cropAtRect(this Bitmap b, Rectangle r)
{
Bitmap nb = new Bitmap(r.Width, r.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(nb))
{
g.DrawImage(b, -r.X, -r.Y);
return nb;
}
}
and it avoids the "Out of memory" exception risk of the simplest answer.
Note that Bitmap
and Graphics
are IDisposable
hence the using
clauses.
EDIT: I find this is fine with PNGs saved by Bitmap.Save
or Paint.exe, but fails with PNGs saved by e.g. Paint Shop Pro 6 - the content is displaced. Addition of GraphicsUnit.Pixel
gives a different wrong result. Perhaps just these failing PNGs are faulty.
Here's a simple example on cropping an image
public Image Crop(string img, int width, int height, int x, int y)
{
try
{
Image image = Image.FromFile(img);
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
bmp.SetResolution(80, 60);
Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
gfx.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
gfx.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
gfx.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
gfx.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height), x, y, width, height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
// Dispose to free up resources
image.Dispose();
bmp.Dispose();
gfx.Dispose();
return bmp;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return null;
}
}
If you're using AForge.NET:
using(var croppedBitmap = new Crop(new Rectangle(10, 10, 10, 10)).Apply(bitmap))
{
// ...
}
This is another way. In my case I have:
Inside the button I have this code:
Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\imagenes\myImage.gif");
Bitmap croppedBitmap = new Bitmap(myImage);
croppedBitmap = croppedBitmap.Clone(
new Rectangle(
(int)LeftMargin.Value, (int)TopMargin.Value,
myImage.Width - (int)LeftMargin.Value,
myImage.Height - (int)TopMargin.Value),
System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare);
pictureBox1.Image = croppedBitmap;
I tried it in Visual studio 2012 using C#. I found this solution from this page
here it is working demo on github

using (var gr = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))

bmp.Save(tempfile,ImageFormat.Jpeg);
bmp.Dispose();
