How to get the the dimensions of an image file?
Wpf class System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapDecoder
doesn't read whole file, just metadata.
using(var imageStream = File.OpenRead("file"))
{
var decoder = BitmapDecoder.Create(imageStream, BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreColorProfile,
BitmapCacheOption.Default);
var height = decoder.Frames[0].PixelHeight;
var width = decoder.Frames[0].PixelWidth;
}

Dealing with exif
'ed images is a little bit more complicated. For some reasons iphones save a rotated image and to compensate they also set "rotate this image before displaying" exif flag as such.
Gif is also a pretty complicated format. It is possible that no frame has full gif size, you have to aggregate it from offsets and frames sizes.
So I used ImageProcessor instead, which deals with all the problems for me. Never checked if it reads the whole file though, because some browsers have no exif
support and I had to save a rotated version anyway.
using (var imageFactory = new ImageFactory())
{
imageFactory
.Load(stream)
.AutoRotate(); //takes care of ex-if
var height = imageFactory.Image.Height,
var width = imageFactory.Image.Width
}
Unfortunately, System.Drawing
and ImageProcessor
are supported only on the Windows platform because they are a thin wrapper over GDI (Graphics Device Interface) which is very old Win32 (Windows) unmanaged drawing APIs.
Instead, just install the SixLabors/ImageSharp library from NuGet. And here is how you can get size with it:
using (var image = SixLabors.ImageSharp.Image.Load("image-path."))
{
var width = image.Width;
var height = image.Height;
}
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"c:\ggs\ggs Access\images\members\1.jpg");
MessageBox.Show("Width: " + img.Width + ", Height: " + img.Height);
