How do I compress an image with Run-Length Encoding using C#? Are there any available libraries to support this?
Does Run-Length Encoding only work on bitmapped images? If so, How will I convert image types to bitmap using C#?
I'd also like to ask what's their resulting file type after this, will they retain their file type or will they have a new one?

I know this is an old question, but it is one of the few things that comes up for RLE compression in C# on Google search. For someone like me, who has no experience with image processing at all, this was a very frustrating experience, so hopefully this answer will save some others pain in the future.
I understand that RLE is an out-dated form of compression, but some of us are stuck with constraints (such as exporting a bmp to a custom device) that require us to use it. The following requires an 8bpp indexed bitmap in order to work. If you need help converting an image to that format, there are a good number of resources online to help out.
I put this inside a class called BmpCompressor.
private enum Compression
{
// others not necessary for the 8bpp compression, but left for reference
//BI_RGB = 0x0000,
BI_RLE8 = 0x0001,
//BI_RLE4 = 0x0002,
//BI_BITFIELDS = 0x0003,
//BI_JPEG = 0x0004,
//BI_PNG = 0x0005,
//BI_CMYK = 0x000B,
//BI_CMYKRLE8 = 0x000C,
//BI_CMYKRLE4 = 0x000D
}
private enum BitCount
{
// others not necessary for the 8bpp compression, but left for reference
//Undefined = (ushort)0x0000,
//TwoColors = (ushort)0x0001,
//Max16Colors = (ushort)0x0004,
Max256Colors = (ushort)0x0008,
//Max32KBColors = (ushort)0x0010,
//Max16MBColors = (ushort)0x0018,
//Max16MBColors_Compressed = (ushort)0x0020
}
private struct RleCompressedBmpHeader
{
// Everything before the HeaderSize is technically not part of the header (it's not included in the HeaderSize calculation)
/// <summary>

If you look around you will find quite a few resources...
Run length encoding works on just about any type of data in the form of a string.
But here is an example from Rosetta Code:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
string input = "WWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWWW";
Console.WriteLine(Encode(input));//Outputs: 12W1B12W3B24W1B14W
Console.WriteLine(Decode(Encode(input)));//Outputs: WWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Console.ReadLine();
}
public static string Encode(string s)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int count = 1;
char current =s[0];
for(int i = 1; i < s.Length;i++)
{
if (current == s[i])
{
count++;
}
else
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1}", count, current);
count = 1;
current = s[i];
}
}
sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1}", count, current);
return sb.ToString();
}
public static string Decode(string s)
{
string a = "";
int count = 0;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
char current = char.MinValue;
for(int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
{
current = s[i];
if (char.IsDigit(current))
a += current;
else
{
count = int.Parse(a);
a = "";
for (int j = 0; j < count; j++)
sb.Append(current);
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
You will have to suit this to your needs but it should get you started.

To compress an image I have written some function: This will resize the width and determine the height by aspect ratio. Note that if the original width of the image is less than the new width then the image is not sized (you can definitely change that in the code).
public Bitmap ResizedImage(Stream imageStream, int newWidth)
{
Image image = Image.FromStream(imageStream);
int newwidthimg = image.Size.Width;
int newheightimg = image.Size.Height;
if (newWidth <= image.Size.Width)
{
newwidthimg = newWidth;
float AspectRatio = (float)image.Size.Width / (float)image.Size.Height;
newheightimg = Convert.ToInt32(newwidthimg / AspectRatio);
}
Bitmap thumbnailBitmap = new Bitmap(newwidthimg, newheightimg);
using (Graphics thumbnailGraph = Graphics.FromImage(thumbnailBitmap))
{
thumbnailGraph.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
thumbnailGraph.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
thumbnailGraph.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
var imageRectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, newwidthimg, newheightimg);
thumbnailGraph.DrawImage(image, imageRectangle);
}
return thumbnailBitmap;
