2. Install git
3. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/georgekhananaev/py-image-compressor.git
4. Install requirements.txt, cd into main folder and type: pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

Command	Weight	Default Values	Meaning	Details	Usage example
-l	required	N/A	location	your images path, where your original images located.	-l "C:/Original Images/"
-d	optional	/data/output/	destination	your destination path, compressed images will be saved here	-d "C:/Compressed Images/"
-w	optional	1920	max width	if larger resolution will be set to max width without breaking the image ratio	-w 1920
-q	optional	80	quality	images quality by percentage. lower quality to save more space	-q 80
-f	optional	jpeg	format	supported format ".png", ".jpeg", ".jpg", ".ppm", ".gif", ".tiff", ".bmp", ".webp", ".heic", ".heif" for more check PIL Documentation.	-f jpeg
-r	optional	no	remove	remove images from destination path, if compression is worst than original file.	-r y
-h	-	-	help	if you forgot what command you want to use can write python main.py --help	-h or --help

Import: for -l and -d, use quotation marks if have spaces.

Examples:

python main.py -l <Your Location> -d <Your Destination> -f <File Format> -w <Max Width> -q <Max Quality> -r <Remove Larger Files>

COMMAND:

python main.py -l "D:/Programming/React/resume-website/" -d "./data/out/" -f webp -w 500 -q 100

Updates:

02/12/2023 👇

1. Add a condition in the imageCompressor for automatic RGB and RGBA detection and selection. Thanks to "ZenithVal" for the suggestion.

06/04/2023 👇

1. Updated readme.md.
2. Updated requirements.txt with latest versions packages.

12/12/2022 👇️

1. Added a 'resources' folder containing a configurations.ini file to store all program settings. This change sets the stage for an upcoming GUI interface with memory.
2. Removed PySimpleGUI from dependencies; instead, we will use customtkinter for a modern-looking GUI.

06/12/2022 👇️

1. Default values have been added for the -d, -f, and -q options, making them no longer required fields. You can execute the code simply by typing: python main.py -l "C:/Your Folder/". The default values are as follows: JPEG format, 80% quality, maximum width of 1080p, and the destination folder is set to /data/output/_
2. Simplified the code using *args and **kwargs.

05/12/2022 👇️

1. Added support for .heif and .heic formats, so now you can convert photos from your iPhone as well.
2. Updated requirements.txt to include PySimpleGUI (for future implementations) and pillow-heif.

04/12/2022 👇️

1. Improved the image processing output to display the actual amount of size saved for each image. >
2. Better output for each image, you can see how much size you actually saved.
3. I have started developing the GUI interface, which will be executable on both Windows and Ubuntu.
4. I've added a new command -r y to prevent retaining larger compressed images.

GUI interface will be added if this project receives at least 50 stars...

• Due to my busy schedule, I will continue development only if there is substantial demand.
• If you encounter any bugs, please feel free to open an issue.
• Personally, I use this script to compress images for React-based websites and convert entire folders to WebP format with a single command.
