The Image Scaling API enables you to develop MIDlets with image resizing capabilities. You can use this API to reduce the size of an image either by file size or by dimension (that is, width and height). The aspect ratio of the image can be retained, if required. For JPEG images, the output quality can be set before resizing the image.
You cannot use the Image Scaling API to enlarge the size of an image.
Protected images are not supported by the Image Scaling API due to security or copyright issues.
The Image Scaling API is compatible with devices running on Nokia Asha software platform devices or newer.
To find out which device models support the Image Scaling API, see Nokia Developer device specifications.
