Use the following code to generate the scaled Image which will be scaled to given PictureBox....
In this you can change the size of PictureBox and see how resizing works..

Resizing Images to match it's Scale in C# .Net

Create High Quality Thumbnails/Resize using System.Drawing.Graphics - ASP.Net C# Code

Create High Quality Thumbnails/Resize using System.Drawing.Graphics - ASP.Net C# Code

Wed, 18 Jun, 2008

 

This post will help you to create High Quality Thumbnails or can Resize the image
The GetThumbnailImage() method of Bitmap class produces a thumbnail image from the file specified. Life is so easy with it. Not always though. Sometimes the thumbnails produced are low quality - pixelated and blurred

Why it Happens?

Image formats like jpeg may store the thumbnail inside the same file. If we use System.Drawing.Bitmap method GetThumbnailImage, method checks if there’s a thumbnail image stored into the file and, if the thumb is found, it returns that thumbnail version scaled to the width and height you requested. If the thumbnail version of the image is smaller then the size you requested to produce, thats when problem occurs. The thumbnails produced become pixelated as we know stretching an image to a larger once reduces the Image Quality.

Solution

First of all you will need to include the reference of following namespaces

using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Design;


Use the following code to create High Quality Thumbnail/Resize the image.

string originalFilePath = "C:\\originalimage.jpg"; //Replace with your image path
string thumbnailFilePath = string.Empty;
 
Size newSize = new Size(120,90); // Thumbnail size (width = 120) (height = 90)
 
using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(originalFilePath))
{
    thumbnailFilePath = "C:\\thumbnail.jpg"; //Change the thumbnail path if you want
 
    using (Bitmap thumb = new Bitmap((System.Drawing.Image)bmp, newSize))
    {
        using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(thumb)) // Create Graphics object from original Image
        {
            g.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
            g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.High;
            g.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
 
            //Set Image codec of JPEG type, the index of JPEG codec is "1"
            System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo codec = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()[1];
 
            //Set the parameters for defining the quality of the thumbnail... here it is set to 100%
            System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters eParams = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1);
            eParams.Param[0] = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, 100L);
 
            //Now draw the image on the instance of thumbnail Bitmap object
            g.DrawImage(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, thumb.Width, thumb.Height));
 
            thumb.Save(thumbnailFilePath, codec, eParams);
        }
    }
}
