Message:

I have this image which I get from an API call:

On the client's website, everything is set to use 4:3 format images.

Now I tried many aproaches to change the dimensions of the image to 4:3 but it always crops the image which is not de desired result.

This code:

"convert /original-file.jpg -background white -gravity center -extent 4:3 jpg:new-file.jpg";

generates this image:

But I want this result:

My Answer:
php
$image = new Imagick('input.jpg');

$width = $image->getImageWidth();
$height = $image->getImageHeight();

$newWidth = $width;
$newHeight = round($width * 3 / 4);

$image->resizeImage($newWidth, $newHeight, Imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS, 1);

$image->writeImage('output.jpg');
$image->destroy();


This code will resize the image to have a 4:3 aspect ratio without cropping the image. It calculates the new height based on the new width and the desired aspect ratio of 4:3.
