Dynamic Image - Home

Dynamic Image is a PHP script that generates images of a given size on the fly. This is useful say for example you have a profile picture feature on your site. Rather than having to resize the image yourself or getting strange scaling issues this project will generate any sized image you need in a fraction of a second.

Major Features

Quick image generation

Images are generated in a fraction of a second meaning that load times aren't noticeable.

External image site support

This script supports images that are hosted on a third party website. All you have to do is serve this project on your image server and any images will be rendered and supplied on your third party site.

Caching

Any images that are generated are cached meaning that load times are cut to milliseconds after first load, even for large files. There are also advanced settings for the caching system to set validation and timeout rules. For more see Caching.

Major filetype support

Both .jpg types (.jpg and .jpeg) are supported along with .png images. .jpg and .png images are used by 75% of sites. See here. The next major filetype .gif is planned to be supported in the next version v0.3. .gif files are used by 35% of sites.
