The image compressor is a lightweight and straightforward tool that is capable of reducing the size of images. It utilizes an algorithm inspired by PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to compress images, resulting in a size reduction of at least 50% compared to the original size. By using this tool, you can effectively save memory and storage space.
To use the Image Compressor, follow these steps:
- clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/ErfanMomeniii/image-compressor.git
- install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To compress an image, run the following command:
python setup.py -c "image.jpg"
Replace image.jpg with the path of your input image and it will output compressed file like image.npz.
To decompress an image from .npz file, run the following command:
python setup.py -d "image.npz"
Like compressing, replace image.npz with the path of your compressed file.
