there are quite a few at http://www.phpclasses.org

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1365.html is one
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2791.html is another

I think both use GD.

I use one written by Timothy Kanters for many of my applications. It works
great. I tried to find a link, but it seems his website is offline. While
it was obviously given out for free, there is nothing specifically
mentioned in the comments about handing the code down. So, I'm a little
hesitant to cut and paste the class here.

I've also used this one:

As far as dealing with the uploads and deleting the original image, that
will be up to you to write a fairly simple script for dealing with them.
