How to Scale a Bufferedimage

How to scale a BufferedImage

AffineTransformOp offers the additional flexibility of choosing the interpolation type.

BufferedImage before = getBufferedImage(encoded);
int w = before.getWidth();
int h = before.getHeight();
BufferedImage after = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
at.scale(2.0, 2.0);
AffineTransformOp scaleOp = 
   new AffineTransformOp(at, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
after = scaleOp.filter(before, after);

The fragment shown illustrates resampling, not cropping; this related answer addresses the issue; some related examples are examined here.

how do I scale a BufferedImage

Something like this? :

 /**
 * Resizes an image using a Graphics2D object backed by a BufferedImage.
 * @param srcImg - source image to scale
 * @param w - desired width
 * @param h - desired height
 * @return - the new resized image
 */
private BufferedImage getScaledImage(Image srcImg, int w, int h){
    BufferedImage resizedImg = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TRANSLUCENT);
    Graphics2D g2 = resizedImg.createGraphics();
    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
    g2.drawImage(srcImg, 0, 0, w, h, null);
    g2.dispose();
    return resizedImg;
}

Updated answer

I cannot recall why my original answer worked but having tested it in a separate environment, I agree, the original accepted answer doesn't work (why I said it did I cannot remember either). This, on the other hand, did work:

public static BufferedImage resize(BufferedImage img, int newW, int newH) { 
    Image tmp = img.getScaledInstance(newW, newH, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    BufferedImage dimg = new BufferedImage(newW, newH, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

    Graphics2D g2d = dimg.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(tmp, 0, 0, null);
    g2d.dispose();

    return dimg;
}  

Is there a way to scale down a BufferedImage

To scale down, use a scale in the range (0.0, 1.0), instead of negatives.

When you apply a scaling Affine Transform with scale (xScale, yScale), the new dimensions are (imgWidth*xScale, imgHeight*yScale).

How to get scaled instance of a bufferedImage

You can create a new image, a BufferedImage with the TookitImage.

Image toolkitImage = img.getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(), 
      Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
int width = toolkitImage.getWidth(null);
int height = toolkitImage.getHeight(null);

// width and height are of the toolkit image
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, 
      BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics g = newImage.getGraphics();
g.drawImage(toolkitImage, 0, 0, null);
g.dispose();

// now use your new BufferedImage

Dynamically resize a bufferedimage in java

You're doing int division which always returns an int, here 0 since your screen dimensions will likely be greater than your image dimensions:

aspectRatioWidth = bufwidth/scrwidth;
aspectRatioHeight = bufheight/scrheight;

Solution: convert the numbers to double and then do double division.

aspectRatioWidth = (double) bufwidth/scrwidth;
aspectRatioHeight = (double) bufheight/scrheight;

Edit

Not sure what you're ultimately trying to do -- post the image of the computer screen in your GUI? If so, perhaps something like...

   private static final int PREF_H = PREF_W;

   public BufferedImage displayImage;
   private MyWorker myWorker;

   public ChangeVars() {
      try {
         myWorker = new MyWorker(DELAY);
         myWorker.execute();
      } catch (AWTException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

   @Override

   }

      super.paintComponent(g);
      if (displayImage != null) {

      }
   }

   public void stopWorker() {
      if (myWorker != null && !myWorker.isDone()) {
         myWorker.setRunning(false);
         myWorker.cancel(true);

   private class MyWorker extends SwingWorker<Void, BufferedImage> {

      private volatile boolean running = true;
      private Robot robot;
      private int delay;

      public MyWorker(int delay) throws AWTException {
         this.delay = delay;
         robot = new Robot();
      }

      @Override
      protected Void doInBackground() throws Exception {
         while (running) {
            Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
            Rectangle screenRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, d.width, d.height);

            double scaleY = (double) sz.height / image.getHeight();
            AffineTransform transform = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(
                  scaleX, scaleY);
            AffineTransformOp transformOp = new AffineTransformOp(transform,

      }

      public void setRunning(boolean running) {
         this.running = running;
      }

      public boolean getRunning() {
         return running;
      }

   }

   private static void createAndShowGui() {
      final ChangeVars changeVars = new ChangeVars();

      JFrame frame = new JFrame("ChangeVars");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {

         @Override
         public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
            if (changeVars != null) {
               changeVars.stopWorker();
            }
            System.exit(0);
         }

      });
      frame.getContentPane().add(changeVars);
      frame.pack();
      frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowGui();
         }
      });
   }
}

Although simpler would be to just let paintComponent do the scaling:

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
  super.paintComponent(g);
  if (displayImage != null) {
     int width = getWidth();
     int height = getHeight();
     g.drawImage(displayImage, 0, 0, width, height, null);
  }
}

// ....

  @Override
  protected void process(List<BufferedImage> chunks) {
     for (BufferedImage image : chunks) {
        displayImage = image;
        repaint();
     }
  }

BufferedImage black and white after scaling

I'm pretty sure you can not just change the height and width of a Buffered Image and it will scale for you.
Try using getScaledInstance() like in this question.
