How do I resize an image using PIL and maintain its aspect ratio

Question

Is there an obvious way to do this that I m missing   I m just trying to make thumbnails

You can combine PIL s Image thumbnail with sys maxsize if your resize limit is only on one dimension  width or height   For instance  if you want to resize an image so that its height is no more than 100px  while keeping aspect ratio  you can do something like this  import sys from PIL import Image  image thumbnail  sys maxsize  100   Image ANTIALIAS   Keep in mind that Image thumbnail will resize the image in place  which is different from Image resize that instead returns the resized image without changing the original one

If you are trying to maintain the same aspect ratio  then wouldn t you resize by some percentage of the original size   For example  half the original size  half   0 5 out   im resize   int half   s  for s in im size

Define a maximum size  Then  compute a resize ratio by taking min maxwidth width  maxheight height    The proper size is oldsize ratio   There is of course also a library method to do this  the method Image thumbnail  Below is an  edited  example from the PIL documentation   import os  sys import Image  size   128  128  for infile in sys argv 1        outfile   os path splitext infile  0      thumbnail      if infile    outfile          try              im   Image open infile              im thumbnail size  Image ANTIALIAS              im save outfile   JPEG           except IOError              print  cannot create thumbnail for   s     infile

I will also add a version of the resize that keeps the aspect ratio fixed  In this case  it will adjust the height to match the width of the new image  based on the initial aspect ratio  asp rat  which is float       But  to adjust the width to the height  instead  you just need to comment one line and uncomment the other in the else loop  You will see  where   You do not need the semicolons      I keep them just to remind myself of syntax of languages I use more often   from PIL import Image  img path    filename png   img   Image open img path         puts our image to the buffer of the PIL Image object  width  height   img size  asp rat   width height     Enter new width  in pixels  new width   50     Enter new height  in pixels  new height   54   new rat   new width new height   if  new rat    asp rat       img   img resize  new width  new height   Image ANTIALIAS       adjusts the height to match the width   NOTE  if you want to adjust the width to the height  instead - gt     uncomment the second line  new width  and comment the first one  new height  else      new height   round new width   asp rat        new width   round new height   asp rat       img   img resize  new width  new height   Image ANTIALIAS      usage  resize  x y   resample    resample filter - gt  PIL Image BILINEAR  PIL Image NEAREST  default   PIL Image BICUBIC  etc     https   pillow readthedocs io en 3 1 x reference Image html PIL Image Image resize    Enter the name under which you would like to save the new image img save  outputname png      And  it is done  I tried to document it as much as I can  so it is clear    I hope it might be helpful to someone out there

Open your image file   from PIL import Image im   Image open  image png     Use PIL Image resize size  resample 0  method  where you substitute  width  height  of your image for the size 2-tuple   This will display your image at original size   display im resize  int im size 0   int im size 1     0      This will display your image at 1 2 the size   display im resize  int im size 0  2  int im size 1  2    0      This will display your image at 1 3 the size   display im resize  int im size 0  3  int im size 1  3    0      This will display your image at 1 4 the size   display im resize  int im size 0  4  int im size 1  4    0      etc etc

I was trying to resize some images for a slideshow video and because of that  I wanted not just one max dimension  but a max width and a max height  the size of the video frame   And there was always the possibility of a portrait video    The Image thumbnail method was promising  but I could not make it upscale a smaller image   So after I couldn t find an obvious way to do that here  or at some other places   I wrote this function and put it here for the ones to come   from PIL import Image  def get resized img img path  video size       img   Image open img path      width  height   video size    these are the MAX dimensions     video ratio   width   height     img ratio   img size 0    img size 1      if video ratio  gt   1     the video is wide         if img ratio  lt   video ratio     image is not wide enough             width new   int height   img ratio              size new   width new  height         else     image is wider than video             height new   int width   img ratio              size new   width  height new     else     the video is tall         if img ratio  gt   video ratio     image is not tall enough             height new   int width   img ratio              size new   width  height new         else     image is taller than video             width new   int height   img ratio              size new   width new  height     return img resize size new  resample Image LANCZOS

A simple method for keeping constrained ratios and passing a max width   height  Not the prettiest but gets the job done and is easy to understand   def resize img path  max px size  output folder       with Image open img path  as img          width 0  height 0   img size         out f name   os path split img path  -1          out f path   os path join output folder  out f name           if max  width 0  height 0    lt   max px size              print  writing    to disk  no change from original   format out f path               img save out f path              return          if width 0  gt  height 0              wpercent   max px size   float width 0              hsize   int float height 0    float wpercent               img   img resize  max px size  hsize   Image ANTIALIAS              print  writing    to disk  format out f path               img save out f path              return          if width 0  lt  height 0              hpercent   max px size   float height 0              wsize   int float width 0    float hpercent               img   img resize  max px size  wsize   Image ANTIALIAS              print  writing    to disk  format out f path               img save out f path              return   Here s a python script that uses this function to run batch image resizing
