How to make Bitmap compress without change the bitmap size?

I use this method to compress an image

if(bitmapObject.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut))
{
    ... 
}

But the image I get is much smaller ( in the dimension ) that was before the compress action.

My application need to send the compressed image thru the network - so i want to send as less data as I can ... but I must to keep the original size of the image.

Is there some other way to keep the original bitmap dimension with some compress ?

Are you sure it is smaller?

Bitmap original = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getAssets().open("1024x768.jpg"));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
original.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
Bitmap decoded = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));

Log.e("Original   dimensions", original.getWidth()+" "+original.getHeight());
Log.e("Compressed dimensions", decoded.getWidth()+" "+decoded.getHeight());

Gives

12-07 17:43:36.333: E/Original   dimensions(278): 1024 768
12-07 17:43:36.333: E/Compressed dimensions(278): 1024 768

Maybe you get your bitmap from a resource, in which case the bitmap dimension will depend on the phone screen density

Bitmap bitmap=((BitmapDrawable)getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_1024x768)).getBitmap();
Log.e("Dimensions", bitmap.getWidth()+" "+bitmap.getHeight());

12-07 17:43:38.733: E/Dimensions(278): 768 576

If you are using PNG format then it will not compress your image because PNG is a lossless format. use JPEG for compressing your image and use 0 instead of 100 in quality.

Quality Accepts 0 - 100

0 = MAX Compression (Least Quality which is suitable for Small images)

100 = Least Compression (MAX Quality which is suitable for Big images)

I have done this way:

Get Compressed Bitmap from Singleton class:

ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtils.getInstant().getCompressedBitmap("Your_Image_Path_Here");
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

ImageUtils.java:

public class ImageUtils {

    public static ImageUtils mInstant;

    public static ImageUtils getInstant(){
        if(mInstant==null){
            mInstant = new ImageUtils();
        }
        return mInstant;
    }

    public  Bitmap getCompressedBitmap(String imagePath) {
        float maxHeight = 1920.0f;
        float maxWidth = 1080.0f;
        Bitmap scaledBitmap = null;
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath, options);

        int actualHeight = options.outHeight;
        int actualWidth = options.outWidth;
        float imgRatio = (float) actualWidth / (float) actualHeight;
        float maxRatio = maxWidth / maxHeight;

        if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth) {
            if (imgRatio < maxRatio) {
                imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;
                actualWidth = (int) (imgRatio * actualWidth);
                actualHeight = (int) maxHeight;
            } else if (imgRatio > maxRatio) {
                imgRatio = maxWidth / actualWidth;
                actualHeight = (int) (imgRatio * actualHeight);
                actualWidth = (int) maxWidth;
            } else {
                actualHeight = (int) maxHeight;
                actualWidth = (int) maxWidth;

            }
        }

        options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, actualWidth, actualHeight);
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        options.inDither = false;
        options.inPurgeable = true;
        options.inInputShareable = true;
        options.inTempStorage = new byte[16 * 1024];

        try {
            bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath, options);
        } catch (OutOfMemoryError exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();

        }
        try {
            scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(actualWidth, actualHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        } catch (OutOfMemoryError exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }

        float ratioX = actualWidth / (float) options.outWidth;
        float ratioY = actualHeight / (float) options.outHeight;
        float middleX = actualWidth / 2.0f;
        float middleY = actualHeight / 2.0f;

        Matrix scaleMatrix = new Matrix();
        scaleMatrix.setScale(ratioX, ratioY, middleX, middleY);

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(scaledBitmap);
        canvas.setMatrix(scaleMatrix);
        canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, middleX - bmp.getWidth() / 2, middleY - bmp.getHeight() / 2, new Paint(Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG));

        ExifInterface exif = null;
        try {
            exif = new ExifInterface(imagePath);
            int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 0);
            Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
            if (orientation == 6) {
                matrix.postRotate(90);
            } else if (orientation == 3) {
                matrix.postRotate(180);
            } else if (orientation == 8) {
                matrix.postRotate(270);
            }
            scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 0, 0, scaledBitmap.getWidth(), scaledBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        scaledBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, out);

        byte[] byteArray = out.toByteArray();

        Bitmap updatedBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);

        return updatedBitmap;
    }

    private int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        final int height = options.outHeight;
        final int width = options.outWidth;
        int inSampleSize = 1;

        if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
            final int heightRatio = Math.round((float) height / (float) reqHeight);
            final int widthRatio = Math.round((float) width / (float) reqWidth);
            inSampleSize = heightRatio < widthRatio ? heightRatio : widthRatio;
        }
        final float totalPixels = width * height;
        final float totalReqPixelsCap = reqWidth * reqHeight * 2;

        while (totalPixels / (inSampleSize * inSampleSize) > totalReqPixelsCap) {
            inSampleSize++;
        }
        return inSampleSize;
    }
}

Dimensions are same after compressing Bitmap.

How did I checked ?

Bitmap beforeBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("Your_Image_Path_Here");
Log.i("Before Compress Dimension", beforeBitmap.getWidth()+"-"+beforeBitmap.getHeight());

Bitmap afterBitmap = ImageUtils.getInstant().getCompressedBitmap("Your_Image_Path_Here");
Log.i("After Compress Dimension", afterBitmap.getWidth() + "-" + afterBitmap.getHeight());

Output:

Before Compress : Dimension: 1080-1452
After Compress : Dimension: 1080-1452

Hope this will help you.

Here's a short means I used to reduce the size of Images that have a high byteCount (basically pixels)

fun resizeImage(image: Bitmap): Bitmap {

    val width = image.width
    val height = image.height

    val scaleWidth = width / 10
    val scaleHeight = height / 10

    if (image.byteCount <= 1000000)
        return image

    return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(image, scaleWidth, scaleHeight, false)
}

This returns a scaled Bitmap that is over 10 times smaller than the Bitmap passed as a parameter. Might not be the most ideal solution but it works.
