Demo of phpThumb() - thumbnails created by PHP

This is a demo of phpThumb() (current version: v1.6.3-200511261736)

Note: this server is working on GD "bundled (2.1.0 compatible)", so images should be of optimal quality.

Difference between GD1 and GD2

The following images have the textured background behind them to illustrate transparency effects. Note that some browsers, notably Internet Explorer, are incapable of displaying alpha-channel PNGs. See my page on the PNG transparency problem. Other modern browsers such as Mozilla/Firefox display alpha-transparent PNGs with no problems.

Notice how output format affects the result: GIF is animated and transparent; PNG is tranparent but not animated (first frame is rendered as a still image); JPEG is neither transparent nor animated. Any filters will disable animated resizing (may be fixed in a future version).

Illustration of potential difference between GD1.x and GD2.x In most cases the thumbnails produced by phpThumb() on GD v1.x are perfectly acceptable, but in some cases it may look ugly. Diagonal lines and reducing a very large source image increase chance for bad results (the house/sky picture has both problems). Here are three static examples:
GD v2.0.15
GD v1.6.2
