Package: pyimgbatch
PyImgBatchPyImgBatch is a batch image processor for python including a command line interface.InstallationFor installation open a terminal and type the following line into the command line.pip install pyimgbatchDocumentationFor further information please read the documentation:https://soeren-kirchner.github.io/pyimgbatch/quickstart.htmlUsage on command lineThe simplest usage is to change to the folder containing the images withcd /folder/with/imagesand typepyimgbatch --width 300This will resize all supported image files in the current folder to a width of 300 pixels respecting the aspect ratio of the source file. The results will be written to a "dest" subfolder.Alternatively, you can set a source folder with the images to be converted and/or a destination folder for the results as follow.pyimgbatch --source source_folder --dest destination_folder --height 400or shorterpyimgbatch -s source_folder -d destination_folder --height 400This will convert the images from thesource_folderto a height of 400px and stores the results in the destination folder.Note: For every source image a subfolder will be created inside the destination_folder. To avoid this behavior use the --nosubfolder argument.Project FilesOne of PyImgBatch features is to create multiple different versions from given image files.For this, you can use project files. Project files are JSON files containing the specifications for the image processing.The very short oneHere an example of a very short one.[{"width":1000,"suffix":".w1000"},{"height":1200,"suffix":".h1200"}]For example (may the project named "myprj.json"):pyimgbatch -c myprj.jsonproduces the following output:processing: french-bulldog-4530685.jpg

...and creates two images per source images, resized to the specified width or height with suffix added to the original name.The short oneImagine, you need to create different sizes for all your images for your web project. For instance, you need the images in widths 180px, 300px, 400px and one in a height of 800 and each 2x and 3x the size for higher pixel density display like in smartphones.
An example could look as follow.{"name":"web set","comment":"some sample pictures","source":"webset/source","dest":"webset/dest","prefix":"web.","configs":[{"width":180,"suffix":".w180","webset":"@3x"},{"width":300,"suffix":".w300","webset":"@3x"},{"width":400,"suffix":".w400","webset":"@3x"},{"height":800,"prefix":"preview.","webset":"@3x"}]}This will create 12 destination images for each imput image. For a image "lama-4540160.jpg" you get:...

...As you see you can specify defaults, so you don't need to repeat yourself.
The more specific option is used instead of the more general one. So in this example, all images get the prefix "web." except the last, because the more specific prefix is here given as "preview."Hint: The file names are a little strange because I've downloaded the images from the free image stockpixabayand I haven't changed the Name so you can search for the pics or the photographer if you want.Full image project filelooks as follow.{"comment":"pyImgBatch demo project","debug":true,"no-progess":false,"projects":[{"name":"web set","comment":"some sample pictures","source":"webset/source","dest":"webset/dest","prefix":"web.","configs":[{"width":180,"suffix":".w180","webset":"@3x"},{"width":300,"suffix":".w300","webset":"@3x"},{"width":400,"suffix":".w400","webset":"@3x"},{"height":800,"prefix":"preview.","webset":"@3x"}]},{"name":"images to thumbnails","source":"to-thumbnails/originals","dest":"to-thumbnails/thumbnails","subfolder":false,"prefix":"thumb.","configs":[{"height":300},{"prefix":"smallthumb.","height":200}]}]}This project contains two projects.
