How to break gif format and create small png format using python?

Hello Trojan Helan, I order to create png format pictures from gif using python, you would normally use Python Image Library (PIL). Here is its link: http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/index.htm You will find in detail help at this website, I suggest you take a look at The Imagedraw Module in Part Two and PNG file format in the appendix.

How to break gif format and create small png format using python?

 

Hey Trojan,

Use the following code to be able to convert gif format to png using Python. There are many open source projects online that offer this method.

 

importImage,glob,os

files = glob.glob("small/*.gif")

forimageFile infiles:

    filepath,filename = os.path.split(imageFile)

    filterame,exts = os.path.splitext(filename)

    print"Processing: "+ imageFile,filterame

    im = Image.open(imageFile)

    im.save( 'small_/'+filterame+'.png','PNG')
