Image Redux

Image Redux is a Python script for processing and optimizing images in a specified folder. It resizes images to a maximum width, converts PNG files to JPEG (optional), and can skip small files based on size and width.

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine or download the script redux.py.

2. Navigate to the folder containing the script in your terminal.

3. Install the required Python libraries if you haven't already:

   # Using pip3
   pip3 install pillow
   pip3 install thumbor-plugins-pngcrush
   

   # Debain
   sudo apt install python3-pillow
   sudo apt install pngcrush
   

4. Run the script using the following command:

   python3 redux.py
   

Configuration

You can configure the script by modifying the following variables in redux.py:

• folder_path: The path to the folder containing the images you want to process.
• quality: The quality of the output images (0-100).
• convert_png_to_jpeg: Set to True if you want to convert PNG files to JPEG and then back to PNG for maximum optimization.
• max_width: The maximum width for resized images.
• png_crush: Set to True if you want to optimize PNG files using pngcrush.
• skip_small_files: Set to True to skip images that are smaller than a specified size.
• file_size_limit_mb: The file size limit in megabytes for skipping small files.

Output

The script will process the images in the specified folder and overwrite the old file. After processing, it will provide a summary of the number of images processed, the image quality, maximum width, and skip criteria.

If any images cannot be identified or processed, they will be skipped, and a list of skipped images will be displayed in the summary.
