Hi I would like to know if there is any way in Java to reduce the size of an image (use any kind of compression) that was loaded as a BufferedImage and is going to be saved as an PNG. Maybe some sort of png imagewriteparam? I didnt find anything helpful so im stuck. heres a sample how the image is loaded and saved public static BufferedImage load(String imageUrl) { Image image = new ImageIcon(imageUrl).getImage(); bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); Graphics2D g2D = bufferedImage.createGraphics(); g2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null); return bufferedImage; } public static void storeImageAsPng(BufferedImage image, String imageUrl) throws IOException { ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(imageUrl)); }
