SixLabors.ImageSharp not work in asp.net mvc 5 so any other options to reduce image quality of webp format
The error `CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'SkiaSharp.SKWebpEncoderOptions' to 'int'` indicates that the `Encode` method is being called with incorrect parameters. Specifically, it expects an integer (representing quality) rather than an instance of `SKWebpEncoderOptions`.
To resolve this, we need to use the `SKImage.Encode` method correctly for encoding the image in WebP format with specified quality settings.
Here’s the corrected method using `SkiaSharp`:
1. **Ensure necessary using directives**:
```csharp
using SkiaSharp;
using SkiaSharp.WebP;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
```
2. **Corrected `SaveImagesToFolder` method**:
```csharp
public async Task SaveImagesToFolder(List<string> imageUrls, string title)
{
if (imageUrls.Count > 0)
{
int i = 1;
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
foreach (var imageUrl in imageUrls)
{
try
{
string fpattern = "[^a-zA-Z_]+";
string replacement = " ";
string folderPath = Path.Combine("E:\\Imagesfolder", title);
Directory.CreateDirectory(folderPath);
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(imageUrl);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
byte[] imageBytes = await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
string imageName = Regex.Replace(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(new Uri(imageUrl).LocalPath), fpattern, replacement).Trim();
string magen = title + " " + i;
string imagePath = Path.Combine(folderPath, magen + ".webp");
// Load the image using SkiaSharp
using (var inputStream = new MemoryStream(imageBytes))
using (var bitmap = SKBitmap.Decode(inputStream))
using (var image = SKImage.FromBitmap(bitmap))
using (var outputStream = new FileStream(imagePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
// Create WebP encoder options with quality set to 50
var webpEncoderOptions = new SKWebpEncoderOptions(SKWebpEncoderCompression.Lossy, 50);
// Encode the image to WebP format
var encodedData = image.Encode(SKEncodedImageFormat.Webp, 50);
encodedData.SaveTo(outputStream);
}
i++;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle exceptions, e.g., image download failed
Console.WriteLine($"Error downloading image from {imageUrl}: {ex.Message}");
}
}
}
}
}
```
### Explanation
- **Using `SKImage.Encode`**:
- `image.Encode(SKEncodedImageFormat.Webp, 50)` encodes the image to WebP format with a quality of 50.
- `SaveTo(outputStream)` writes the encoded data to the specified output stream.
- **Creating WebP Encoder Options**:
- `new SKWebpEncoderOptions(SKWebpEncoderCompression.Lossy, 50)` creates the WebP encoder options with lossy compression and quality set to 50.
- **Writing to File**:
- A `FileStream` is used to write the encoded image data to the specified file path.
### Key Points
- **Quality Setting**: Adjusted to 50 using the `SKWebpEncoderOptions`.
- **File Handling**: Correctly handling file streams for writing the encoded image data.
- **Error Handling**: Captures and logs any errors during the download and processing stages.
### Required Packages
Ensure you have the necessary `SkiaSharp` packages installed via NuGet:
```bash
Install-Package SkiaSharp
Install-Package SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux
Install-Package SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Win
Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views.WindowsForms
Install-Package SkiaSharp.WebP
```
By using this approach, you can successfully save images in WebP format with reduced quality using `SkiaSharp` in your ASP.NET MVC 5 application.
