AutoImageSize 2.5

AutoImageSize is an image resizing component designed specifically for web servers.  Written as a C++ COM component, and accessible from .NET with our custom wrapper assembly, AIS is incredibly fast and offers many image resampling filters -- sixteen to be exact.  AutoImageSize also provides four easy-to-use aspect ratio guides which simplify working with images of various dimensions.  On top of these features, AIS is one of the only resizing components which supports caching -- and it's the only component that offers all of these features for under $50.

What's the big deal about caching?  Caching means that AIS only needs to resize an image once when the first request for an image happens.  AIS then reuses the already-resized copy for all subsequent requests for the same image as long as the same resizing parameters (width, height, quality, etc.) are specified.  This means you can use slower, higher-quality filters and support more client image requests since you don't have to resize the image over and over for each and every request. 

If you would like to try AutoImageSize, visit our interactive demonstration page.

IMPORTANT: AutoImageSize 2.5 is incompatible with all previous versions or AutoImageSize.  We strongly suggest installing and testing AIS 2.5 on a staging server prior to production deployment in order to determine if you will be impacted by these changes.  Be sure to read the following before upgrading.

  • Whether you are using the COM component or the .NET wrapper, you are now required to specify the physical path to your cache directory using the CacheDir property.  The component no longer assumes that there is a physical directory named ImageResizeCache below the current web site's root directory.
  • The StatsMode property has been removed.
  • We have made many modifications to the .NET wrapper class to make them more usable, but these changes make the newest .NET wrappers completely incompatible with the previous wrappers.  See the .NET sample files in the distribution for specific implementation details.
  • Please consult the AutoImageSize Documentation for more information.
