Efficient JPEG Image Resizing in PHP

People say that ImageMagick is much faster. At best just compare both libraries and measure that.

  1. Prepare 1000 typical images.
  2. Write two scripts — one for GD, one
    for ImageMagick.
  3. Run both of them a few times.
  4. Compare results (total execution
    time, CPU and I/O usage, result
    image quality).

Something which the best everyone else, could not be the best for you.

Also, in my opinion, ImageMagick has much better API interface.
