Image Compressor Tool in Python
A GUI based tool for compressing images with options of selecting the new file name and the quality percentage. PyQT5 is based on C++ UI framework called QT. It is useful to compress images which we often do on-line before uploading it to our social media handles.
Features
Supports compression of single file as well as all images of a selected folder.
Installation
- Create a new Virtual environment and install packages from requirements.txt file.
- If you want to run the app in development mode then simply switch to the virtual environment and run the main.py file.
Production
- Install 'pyinstaller' and run the following command
pyinstaller main.py --windowed
This would create a dist folder inside of which you'd find your exe file which you can use to run the application.
