circularize an image with imagick

Trying to take a rectangular photo, crop it into a square region, and then mask it into a circular with a transparent background.

//$dims is an array with the width, height, x, y of the region in the rectangular image (whose path on disk is $tempfile)

$circle = new \Imagick();
$circle->newImage($dims['w'], $dims['h'], 'none');
$circle->setimageformat('png');
$circle->setimagematte(true);
$draw = new \ImagickDraw();
$draw->setfillcolor('#ffffff');
$draw->circle($dims['w']/2, $dims['h']/2, $dims['w']/2, $dims['w']);
$circle->drawimage($draw);

$imagick = new \Imagick();
$imagick->readImage($tempfile);
$imagick->setImageFormat( "png" );
$imagick->setimagematte(true);
$imagick->cropimage($dims['w'], $dims['h'], $dims['x'], $dims['y']);
$imagick->compositeimage($circle, \Imagick::COMPOSITE_DSTIN, 0, 0);
$imagick->writeImage($tempfile);
$imagick->destroy();

The result is the rectangular image, uncropped and without being circularized. What am I doing wrong?

Example image: enter image description here

Example input for $dims = {"x":253,"y":0,"x2":438.5,"y2":185.5,"w":185.5,"h":185.5}

Rough expected output:

enter image description here

Image i'm getting looks roughly like the input image.

There's also another workaround that I suggest here :

// create an imagick object of your image
$image = new \Imagick('/absolute/path/to/your/image');
// crop square your image from its center (100px witdh/height in my example)
$image->cropThumbnailImage(100, 100);
// then round the corners (0.5x the width and height)
$image->roundCorners(50, 50);
// force the png format for transparency
$image->setImageFormat("png");
// write the new image
$image->writeImage('/absolute/path/to/your/new/image');
// done!

Many thanks to all previous answers and contributors that lead me to this code!

Feel free to test/comment my solution!

I stumbled upon this as I was searching for a similar solution for Ruby on Rails, notice that this Stackoverflow question uses vignette instead which seems to be a much simpler way to solve the problem.

I used vignette to solve my problem with rounded images in Ruby on Rails using Dragonfly.

For those with an older version of Imagick (setimagematte does not exist in version lower than 6.2.9), I came up with an easy solution. The thing here is to copy opacity from the mask to the original image.

Original Image:

enter image description here

Mask:

enter image description here

Result:

enter image description here

The code:

$base = new Imagick('original.jpg');
$mask = new Imagick('mask.png');

$base->compositeImage($mask, Imagick::COMPOSITE_COPYOPACITY, 0, 0);
$base->writeImage('result.png');

You could use an Imagick black circle as mask but I though it wasn't perfect so I used my own.

Of course you will certainly have to resize / crop your images but that's another story.

Hope this helps.

Result of the code

This works for me:

<?php
//$dims is an array with the width, height, x, y of the region in the rectangular image (whose path on disk is $tempfile)
$tempfile = 'VDSlU.jpg';
$outfile = 'blah.png';

$circle = new Imagick();
$circle->newImage(185.5, 185.5, 'none');
$circle->setimageformat('png');
$circle->setimagematte(true);
$draw = new ImagickDraw();
$draw->setfillcolor('#ffffff');
$draw->circle(185.5/2, 185.5/2, 185.5/2, 185.5);
$circle->drawimage($draw);

$imagick = new Imagick();
$imagick->readImage($tempfile);
$imagick->setImageFormat( "png" );
$imagick->setimagematte(true);
$imagick->cropimage(185.5, 185.5, 253, 0);
$imagick->compositeimage($circle, Imagick::COMPOSITE_DSTIN, 0, 0);
$imagick->writeImage($outfile);
$imagick->destroy();
?>

<img src="blah.png">

I always try to keep the code simple until I get it working and then add all the variables etc. That could be the problem or there could be a problem with your version of Imagick.

It's namespaced

Still do not know what it means! - I am getting a bit behind with php as I do not use it very much these days.
