This function has been deprecated. Use wp_get_image_editor() instead.

image_resize( string $file, int $max_w, int $max_h, bool $crop = false, string $suffix = null, string $dest_path = null, int $jpeg_quality = 90 )

Scale down an image to fit a particular size and save a new copy of the image.


Description

The PNG transparency will be preserved using the function, as well as the image type. If the file going in is PNG, then the resized image is going to be PNG. The only supported image types are PNG, GIF, and JPEG.

Some functionality requires API to exist, so some PHP version may lose out support. This is not the fault of ClassicPress (where functionality is downgraded, not actual defects), but of your PHP version.
