How to Convert Image Formats to JPG in Python

Introduction

When working with images, it is often necessary to convert their format, such as from PNG to JPG. In Python, the Pillow library provides robust functionality for image processing. This guide will walk you through the process of converting image formats to JPG using Python.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Install Pillow

If you have not already installed the Pillow library, you can do so using the following command:

pip install Pillow

2. Convert Images to JPG

To convert an image to JPG format, follow the Python code example below:

from PIL import Image import os def convert_image_to_jpg(input_path, output_path): # Open the image file with (input_path) as img: # Convert the image to RGB (required for JPG) rgb_img ('RGB') # Save the image in JPG format rgb_(output_path, 'JPEG') # Example usage input_image_path 'path/to/your/input_' output_image_path 'path/to/your/output_' convert_image_to_jpg(input_image_path, output_image_path)

The provided code defines a function that takes an input image path and an output image path, converts the image to RGB, and saves it in JPG format.

Note: Ensure that the input image path is correct and that the image exists.

3. Additional Notes

You can also loop through a directory to convert multiple images at once, if needed. Here is an example:

import os from PIL import Image def convert_images(input_folder, output_folder): if not (output_folder): (output_folder) for image_name in (input_folder): input_image_path (input_folder, image_name) output_image_path (output_folder, image_('.', 1)[0] '.jpg') convert_image_to_jpg(input_image_path, output_image_path) # Example usage current_directory 'path/to/your/images' converted_directory 'path/to/converted/images' convert_images(current_directory, converted_directory)
