I'm using this code to resize images in CodeIgniter
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = $tempFile;
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 70 / $ratio;
$config['height'] = 70;
$config['thumb_marker'] = '';
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);
$this->image_lib->resize();
But when I upload png files the transparent area is getting black. I need to make the resized image transparent. Please help me.
