At runtime i wanted to reduce the size (physical size) of the image, lets say the image size if 1 MB and i wanted to convert it into 40 KB or 50 KB,

Is there any way to do this, i have tried using Bitmap but it instead of decreasing the size the size increases.

Is there any third party dll i can use

i am doing this is a windows app with C#.

Solution 2

There's no magic for this: generally speaking you may reduce image size either reducing its dimensions (scaling it down) or its color depth (a nice program to perform such operations without loosing too much quality is IrfanView[^]). You may also use a compressed image format, lossless or lossy, depending on your needs.

My personal favourite is FastStone Image Viewer, the OP wanted a c# way though, my 5 anyway!
