Merge JPG to BMP via C#

Merge JPG to BMP Using C#

JPEG is a standard image format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG can display vivid and colourful images and achieve better image quality with the smallest image size. Graphic files with a BMP format are uncompressed bitmapped images, so BMP pictures have a higher resolution than JPG ones. Both file formats have their own pros and cons, and in many cases, you may need to combine JPG images and save them as one BMP file. With Aspose.SVG for .NET API, you can merge JPG to BMP programmatically. Powerful C# API helps you to combine JPG files quickly and in high quality!

C# code example to merge JPG to BMP

Combine multiple JPG files and save the result as a single BMP file easily! Merging images can be done with a few lines of code:

// Images to merge 
var images = new string[] { @"image1.jpg", "image2.jpg" };
// Initialize a new instance of SVGDocument
using (var document = new SVGDocument())
{
    // Declare an image function
    SVGImageElement CreateThumbnail(string imagePath, int width, int height)
    {
        var image = (SVGImageElement)document.CreateElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "image");
        image.Href.BaseVal = imagePath;
        image.Width.BaseVal.Value = width;
        image.Height.BaseVal.Value = height;
        return image;
    }
    // Set a thumbnail size
    const int thumbnailWidth = 200;
    const int thumbnailHeight = 200;
    const int thumbnailMargin = 10;
    // Create thumbnails merging loop
    for (var i = 0; i < images.Length; i++)
    {
        // Create a thumbnail
        var thumbnail = CreateThumbnail(images[i], thumbnailWidth, thumbnailHeight);
        // Define coordinates 
        thumbnail.X.BaseVal.Value = 0;
        thumbnail.Y.BaseVal.Value = (thumbnailHeight + thumbnailMargin) * i;
        // Append the thumbnail to the document
        document.DocumentElement.AppendChild(thumbnail);
    }
    // Define saving options
    var options = new ImageRenderingOptions
    {
        Format = ImageFormat.Bmp,
        PageSetup =
        {
            Sizing = SizingType.FitContent
        }
    };    
    // Render document 
    document.RenderTo(new ImageDevice(options, "merged.bmp"));
}

Steps to Merge JPG to BMP using C#

1. Define JPG images to merge.
2. Initialize a new instance of the SVGDocument class.
3. Declare an image function. You should use the CreateElementNS(namespaceURI, qualifiedName) method of the SVGDocument class to create an image instance. The namespaceURI sets the reference to W3C SVG specification. The qualifiedName must contain the string tag name of the image element.
4. Call the image function to create a thumbnail object.
5. To add thumbnails to the document, use AppendChild() method.
6. Use one of the ImageRenderingOptions() constructor to initialize a new instance of the ImageRenderingOptions class. You can customize the rendering process by specifying the page size, image format, etc. PNG is used as the default image format.
7. Create an instans of ImageDevice using the ImageDevice() constructor.
8. Call the RenderTo(device) method to send the current document to the output rendering device.
9. Multiple JPG images will be saved into one BMP file on the specified path.

A high-speed C# library allows .NET developers to merge JPG files into one BMP image quickly and efficiently. The Aspose.Svg.Rendering.Image namespace provides specific device classes as well as a few rendering options classes responsible for rendering to raster formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF.
