# Resize

Resizes image using memory-friendly Pipeline API.

## Instruction

Resize an image to a new width and save the result.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var reader = ImageReader.Create("Venice.jpg"))
using (var resize = new Resize(1048, 0, ResizeInterpolationMode.Anisotropic9))
using (var writer = ImageWriter.Create("PipelineResize.jpg"))
{
    // In this case we'll get an additional performance benefit by using resize right after the reader.
    // This allows skip decoding of unnecessary image scan-lines.
    Pipeline.Run(reader + resize + writer);
}
```

## Explanation

The code:

- Reads the image.
- Resizes the image to a width of 1048 pixels (height adjusted to maintain aspect ratio).
- Saves the resized image to the specified file.
