Get Image width and height

Jignesh Patel asked on November 12, 2015 01:20

Hi,

I have a document which has field

Name: HeroImage Data type: File Form control: Upload File (restrict file type .jpg;.png.;.gif)

In transformation I am doing something like

<img src="{% GetFileUrlByGUID(HeroImage, NodeAlias) %}" alt="{% Name %}" width="210px" height="100px"/>

but I want to get image information like height and width and update hardcoded values of width="210px" and height="100px". Do you know how can I retrieve image information and use in transform?

Thanks

Kind regards, Jigs

Regrettably, we don't have any macro for returning the image size as we are using query string parameters to manipulate the images. But you still have an option to create Custom macro in your transformation here.

Within the custom macro, you can query CMS_Attachment table and get AttachmentImageWidth and AttachmentImageHeight properties. and return then back, you could even separate them into two macro methods so you could do each individually

I am not sure why you need to do this, but Kentico allows you to re-size the image on thy fly by adding specific query string parameters. That way the image will be always a given size, so you don't have to get the image dimensions on the fly. You can check our documentation for details.
