About:
An experimental script that uses Python to enter and make every picture in a directory “Instagram Ready” by framing ‘em up into a no-crop square.
This script was inspired by how there are multiple free/paid apps to accomplish this on the mobile app store, but none for desktop. Hope this made your social media routine a little less annoying!
Tested On Windows 10 + Python 3.6 + PILLOW 6.0
Installation:
pip install pictosquare
Advantages:
- Does not compress or crop images.
- Relatively quick.
- Does not rename images.
- Optionally set a background colour to either “white” or “black”. (Defaults to white if not set)
- All pictures are resized into a “picToSquare” director
Experimental:
- Watermark each image
- Custom background colour + Pick dominant colour
