Out of memory resizing image

[sirhc]

Hi,

I have a big image in my image field and want to resize it to 2280px before showing it to the user.

Most images are fine and showing as expected, but with one I have the following error;

Error: Out of memory (allocated 159383552) (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) (line 243 of /htdocs/process/wire/core/ImageSizerEngineGD.php) 

Why is this with one image and not with the other ones, and how to solve this?

Greetz.

Hi @sirhc

1. Set memory_limit to a higher value.

2. Use ImageMagick https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.10-expands-image-resize-options/

3. Use client-side image resizing https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.63-adds-client-side-image-resizing/

Thanks @Zeka, im looking into the ImageMagick solution.
