JavaScript reduce the size and quality of image with based64 encoded code

I have the based64 encoded code of an image. Now I want to reduce the size and quality of the image. How can I do this in JavaScript or jQuery?

Resolve here is the working code : Index.php Here is javascript code which worked form me

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Image Resize</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style>
body {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: Arial;
}

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function _resize(img, maxWidth, maxHeight) 
{
    var ratio = 1;
    var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.style.display="none";
    document.body.appendChild(canvas);

    var canvasCopy = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvasCopy.style.display="none";
    document.body.appendChild(canvasCopy);

    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    var copyContext = canvasCopy.getContext("2d");

        if(img.width > maxWidth)
                ratio = maxWidth / img.width;
        else if(img.height > maxHeight)
                ratio = maxHeight / img.height;

        canvasCopy.width = img.width;
        canvasCopy.height = img.height;
try {
        copyContext.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
} catch (e) { 
    document.getElementById('loader').style.display="none";
    alert("There was a problem - please reupload your image");
    return false;
}
        canvas.width = img.width * ratio;
        canvas.height = img.height * ratio;
        // the line to change
        //ctx.drawImage(canvasCopy, 0, 0, canvasCopy.width, canvasCopy.height, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
        // the method signature you are using is for slicing
        ctx.drawImage(canvasCopy, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
        var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
        document.body.removeChild(canvas);
        document.body.removeChild(canvasCopy);

        return dataURL.replace(/^data:image/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");


};

function resize() { 
    var photo = document.getElementById("photo");

    if(photo.files!=undefined){ 
        var loader = document.getElementById("loader");
        loader.style.display = "inline";
        var file  = photo.files[0];
        document.getElementById("orig").value = file.fileSize;
        var preview = document.getElementById("preview");
        var r = new FileReader();
        r.onload = (function(previewImage) { 
            return function(e) { 
                var maxx = 500;
                var maxy = 500;
                previewImage.src = e.target.result; 
                var k = _resize(previewImage, maxx, maxy);
                if(k!=false) { 
                document.getElementById('base64').value= k;
                document.getElementById('upload').submit();
                } else {
                alert('problem - please attempt to upload again');
                }
            }; 
        })(preview);
        r.readAsDataURL(file);
    } else {
        alert("Seems your browser doesn't support resizing");
    }
    return false;
}

You can use canvas, put image into it, scale it and get image src with new base64 code.

Here’s the function doing that, it returns promise object, as image needs to be loaded (cached) first before drawing canvas out of it and getting its encoded src.

function resizeBase64Img(base64, width, height) {
    var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.width = width;
    canvas.height = height;
    var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
    var deferred = $.Deferred();
    $("<img/>").attr("src", "data:image/gif;base64," + base64).load(function() {
        context.scale(width/this.width,  height/this.height);
        context.drawImage(this, 0, 0); 
        deferred.resolve($("<img/>").attr("src", canvas.toDataURL()));               
    });
    return deferred.promise();    
}

Can be used like this:

resizeBase64Img(oldBase64, 100, 100).then(function(newImg){
    $("body").append(newImg);
});

here’s the jsfiddle
