Resize and thumbnail images

Perch can optionally resize JPG, GIF and PNG images as they’re uploaded, using maximum dimensions specified by you in the templates. Images are scaled down to fit, whilst being kept in proportion and looking good. If you want to crop images to a certain size, you can do that too.

This means that is it easy for your client to upload images without needing to learn how to resize them first. It also makes Perch great for using image galleries, slideshows and using JavaScript carousels to make your pages more interesting to visitors.

Image resizing requires support for one of either the GD or ImageMagick libraries on your web server. These are extremely common.
