PHP | Imagick cropThumbnailImage() Function

The Imagick::cropThumbnailImage() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to create a cropped thumbnail. This function creates a fixed-size thumbnail by first scaling the image up or down with height and weight parameters, and then cropping an area from the center of the image.

Parameters: This function accept two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • $width: This parameter holds the width of the thumbnail.
  • $height: This parameter holds the height of the thumbnail.

Return Value: This function returns True on success.
