How to get the the dimensions of an image file?

Question

I have a file called FPN = "c:\ggs\ggs Access\images\members\1.jpg "

I'm trying to get the dimension of image 1.jpg, and I'd like to check whether image dimension is valid or not before loading.

Answer 1

System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"c:\ggs\ggs Access\images\members\1.jpg"); MessageBox.Show("Width: " + img.Width + ", Height: " + img.Height); 

Answer 2

Wpf class System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapDecoder doesn't read whole file, just metadata.

using(var imageStream = File.OpenRead("file")) {     var decoder = BitmapDecoder.Create(imageStream, BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreColorProfile,         BitmapCacheOption.Default);     var height = decoder.Frames[0].PixelHeight;     var width = decoder.Frames[0].PixelWidth; } 

Update 2019-07-07 Dealing with exif'ed images is a little bit more complicated. For some reasons iphones save a rotated image and to compensate they also set "rotate this image before displaying" exif flag as such.

Gif is also a pretty complicated format. It is possible that no frame has full gif size, you have to aggregate it from offsets and frames sizes.

So I used ImageProcessor instead, which deals with all the problems for me. Never checked if it reads the whole file though, because some browsers have no exif support and I had to save a rotated version anyway.

using (var imageFactory = new ImageFactory()) {     imageFactory         .Load(stream)         .AutoRotate(); //takes care of ex-if     var height = imageFactory.Image.Height,     var width = imageFactory.Image.Width }
