This Python script provides a convenient way to convert images to a desired format and save them in a specified folder. It utilizes the sys
and os
modules to accept command-line arguments for the source folder containing the images and the destination folder where the converted images will be saved.
Features:
- Converts images from one format to another
- Supports various image formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG, GIF)
- Allows customization of the destination format
- Effortlessly processes multiple images in a folder
- Maintains the original file names during conversion
- Preserves image quality and metadata
- Automatically creates the destination folder if it does not exist
Usage:
- Ensure that Python and the necessary dependencies are installed.
- Run the script using the command:
python image_converter.py <source_folder> <destination_folder>
<source_folder>
: Path to the folder containing the images to be converted.<destination_folder>
: Path to the folder where the converted images will be saved.
- Sit back and relax while the script efficiently converts and saves the images.
Example:
python image_converter.py /path/to/source_images /path/to/destination_folder
Note:
- Make sure to specify valid paths for both the source and destination folders.
- The script preserves the directory structure of the source folder within the destination folder.
- The destination folder will be created if it does not exist.
Dependencies:
- Python (3.x or higher)
- The Python Imaging Library (PIL) or Pillow library
Feel free to use and modify this script to suit your image conversion needs.
