Question

Like this I am currently uploading a file ( image ) in my ruby application .. I need to resize the image after uploading … please help for resizing the image

uploaded_io = params[:category][:thumb]

if uploaded_io != ""
  name = uploaded_io.original_filename
  if(FileTest.exist?("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/data/#{name}"))
    id = Category.maximum('id').to_s
    id = id.to_i+ 1
    name =id.to_s+"_"+name

If you have imagemagick already installed – then use ImageScience or MiniMagick instead, they both use much less resources and work faster, and are installed just as a common gem (actually a little bit more installation for imagescience)

ImageScience:

ImageScience.with_image("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/data/#{name}") do |image|
  image.thumbnail(100) do |thumb|
    thumb.save <path_to_small_image to be saved>
  end     
end

MiniMagick:

MiniMagick::Image.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/data/#{name}").resize "100x100"
