In Python's PIL, how do I change the quality of an image? [closed]

Question

I want to degrade the quality of the image to a few kilobytes. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If the picture format is JPEG, here's an example:

from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Jellyfish.jpg")
im.save("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Jellyfish_compressed.jpg", quality=10)

The references you need to be reading are:

• [The Image module][1], particularly the "save" function, which allows you to pass in options relevant for each image format.
  • Each image format's options are in a different page, you can find it in the docs.

Answer 2

Solved.

I did....

im.save( blah, quality=5)
