Getting Image Dimensions using Javascript File API
I require to generate a thumbnail of an image in my Web Application. I make use of the Html 5 File API to generate the thumbnail.
I made use of the examples from the below URL to generate the thumbnails.

I am successfully able to generate the thumbnails. The problem that I have is I am able to generate thumbnail only by using a static size. Is there a way to get the file dimensions from the selected file and then create the Image object?
Yes, read the file as a data URL and pass that data URL to the src
of an Image
: http://jsfiddle.net/pimvdb/eD2Ez/2/.
var fr = new FileReader;
fr.onload = function() { // file is loaded
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
alert(img.width); // image is loaded; sizes are available
};
img.src = fr.result; // is the data URL because called with readAsDataURL
};
fr.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]); // I'm using a <input type="file"> for demonstrating
Or use an object URL: http://jsfiddle.net/8C4UB/
var url = URL.createObjectURL(this.files[0]);
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
alert(img.width);
URL.revokeObjectURL(img.src);
};
img.src = url;
