Image Resizer

This script resizes an image while maintaining its aspect ratio using the Python Imaging Library (PIL / Pillow).

Features

• Resizes an image based on a specified width
• Maintains the original aspect ratio
• Saves the resized image with high quality

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pillow (PIL Fork)

Install Dependencies

To install Pillow, run:

pip install pillow

Usage

Modify the script to include the correct input and output file paths and the desired width. Then, run the script:

from PIL import Image

def resize_image(input_path, output_path, new_width):
    img = Image.open(input_path)
    aspect_ratio = img.height / img.width
    new_height = int(new_width * aspect_ratio)
    
    img_resized = img.resize((new_width, new_height), Image.LANCZOS)
    img_resized.save(output_path, quality=100)

resize_image("/Path/to/input.jpg", "/Path/to/output.jpg", 1280)

Parameters

• input_path - Path to the input image
• output_path - Path to save the resized image
• new_width - Desired width of the resized image

Example

resize_image("image.jpg", "resized_image.jpg", 800)

This resizes image.jpg to a width of 800 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio.
