Python Script to resize all the images, on a given directory, to a 1024x768 JPEG format.

image_resize.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import Image
import os, sys

def resizeImage(infile, dir, output_dir="", size=(1024,768)):
     outfile = os.path.splitext(infile)[0]+"_resized"
     extension = os.path.splitext(infile)[1]

     if extension.lower()!= ".jpg":
        return

     if infile != outfile:
        try :
            im = Image.open(dir+os.sep+infile)
            im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
            im.save(output_dir+os.sep+outfile+extension,"JPEG")
        except IOError:
            print "cannot reduce image for ", infile


if __name__=="__main__":
    dir = os.getcwd()

    if len(sys.argv[1:]) > 0:
        args = sys.argv[1:]

        if args[0] == "-d":
            if args[1]!="./":
                dir = args[1]

    output_dir = dir+os.sep+"resized"
    if not os.path.exists(output_dir):
        os.mkdir(output_dir)

    for file in os.listdir(dir):
        resizeImage(file,dir,output_dir=output_dir)

Thanks brother

Nice script and so useful!
I've made some improvements (dirs and size can be passed with command line arguments):

def resizeImage(infile, output_dir, size):
    outfile = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(infile))[0]
    extension = os.path.splitext(infile)[1]

    if (cmp(extension, ".jpg")):
        return

    if infile != outfile:
        try:
            im = Image.open(infile)
            im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)

cmp function is not defined anymore in python 3.x

no effect on output dir no save file?

images are resized keeping the aspect ratio same as the original e.g. 3136x2091 image is resized to 1024x682 & not 1024x768. I need all images of same size so pls do correct it
