Collection of useful Python scripts

1. Image Resizer ==================================

I created the script to resize thousands images in a single-run Python command in Linux (Ubuntu). This will also work in Windows i guess. It can resize thousands of images ( I run it before for > 50K images)

Suppose we have images stored in Folder structures like this :

images

---- Tigers

-------------1_tigers.jpg

-------------2_tigers.jpg

-------------2_tigers.png

-------------n_tigers.jpg

---- Cats

-------------1_cats.jpg

-------------2_tcats.jpg

-------------2_cats.png

-------------n_cats.jpg

---- n

-------------1_n.jpg

-------------2_n.jpg

-------------3_n.png

-------------n_n.jpg

.............................

ans so on.

Run the script with this steps :

1. Open your terminal, and type

2. python resizer.py {img source folder} {the size you want the image to be} {destination folder}

   example :

     python resizer.py /home/ubuntu/images/ 128 /home/ubuntu/new_images
   

3. Drink your coffee and watch the terminal running the process

Notes:

1. Install PIL image if you dont have one
2. ANTIALIAS and quality=90 is to prevent the image from downgrading quality
3. Images will be converted to .jpg extension ( its up to you, you can change it your way)
