A small python script to automate adding a blurred background to images to make them instagram compatible.
I frequently edit pictures I take on mobile/camera in Lightroom on PC and post on instagram. In this process I may sometimes need to use some third party apps to add background-blur etc. This whole process requires me to transfer images multiple times between devices and process them on different devices. So I decided to automate this step using python.
Usage:
-
Just paste the image files to be squarifed into pictures folder and run 'main.py' to run with default settings.
-
If you want to manually adjust the background blur or brightness use '--blur_strength' or '--background_brightness' flags. Example:
python main.py --blur_strength 100 --backgroung_brightness 1.3
All pictures I included in this project are captured by me in Iceland.
