Image Compressor

This repository contains a Python script that resizes and compresses images to a specified width and height, with the option to change the file format and extension. It includes a Python script (main.py) for resizing the image and a batch file (Compressor.bat) for easily running the script on Windows.

Features

• Resize images to custom dimensions (width and height in pixels).
• Convert images to different formats (e.g., PNG, JPG, JPEG).
• The output image is saved in the same folder as the script with the specified extension.

Requirements

Before using the script, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• Pillow library (Python Imaging Library Fork)

You can install Pillow using pip:

pip install Pillow

How to Use

1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

2. Install Pillow (if you haven't already):

   pip install Pillow
   

3. Run the script:

   • Using the Batch File (Windows): Simply double-click Compressor.bat to launch the Python script. This will open a command prompt window and ask for the necessary inputs.
   • Using Python (cross-platform): Run the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

     python main.py
     

4. The script will prompt you to:

   • Enter the path of the image you want to resize and compress.
   • Enter the desired output file name (the default is output).
   • Specify the output file extension (e.g., png, jpg, jpeg).
   • Provide the new image width and height in pixels.

5. View the result: The resized and compressed image will be saved in the same directory as the script with the specified file extension.

Example

1. When prompted for the image path:

   Enter the path of the image (use parentheses if needed): "C:\Users\YourUsername\Pictures\image.png"
   

2. For the output file name:

   Enter the output file name (default: output): resized_image
   

3. For the output file extension:

   Output file extension (png, jpg, jpeg...): jpg
   

4. For the dimensions:

   Enter the desired width of the image (in pixels): 800
   Enter the desired height of the image (in pixels): 600
   

5. After the script runs, you will find the resized and compressed image saved as resized_image.jpg in the same folder as the script.
