How to use Pillow(PIL) in Python

To use Pillow (Python Imaging Library) in Python, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Pillow:

   • Open your terminal or command prompt.
   • Run the following command to install Pillow using pip:

     pip install pillow
     

2. Import the Pillow module:

   • In your Python script, import the PIL module from Pillow:

     from PIL import Image
     

3. Open and manipulate images:

   • Use the Image.open() method to open an image file:

     image = Image.open("image.jpg")
     

   • Perform various operations on the image, such as resizing, cropping, rotating, and applying filters. Here are a few examples:

     # Resize the image
     resized_image = image.resize((width, height))
     
     # Crop the image
     cropped_image = image.crop((x, y, x + width, y + height))
     
     # Rotate the image
     rotated_image = image.rotate(angle)
     
     # Apply a filter
     filtered_image = image.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)
     

   • Save the modified image to a file:

     resized_image.save("resized_image.jpg")
     

4. Display the image:

   • To display the image, you can use the show() method:

     image.show()
     

   • This will open the image using the default image viewer on your system.

These are just a few examples of what you can do with Pillow. It provides a wide range of image processing capabilities, including image manipulation, format conversion, and more. You can refer to the Pillow documentation for more details and advanced usage: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/
