reef tundra
I'm a general hobbyist and nerd and I often need small utilities like batch file converters, other specialty stuff that's task-specific. In this case, I used Chat to write a python script so I didn't have to install any terrible apps off download dot com or whatever. It worked the first time.
reef tundra
This script took a couple of tries because Chat kept forgetting to include the IO module, but it resizes an image until it's less than 50k, even works in batches.
import io
import os
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
from PIL import Image
def reduce_image_size(file_path, target_size_kb=50):
# Open the image
with Image.open(file_path) as img:
# Convert RGBA to RGB if necessary
if img.mode == 'RGBA':
img = img.convert('RGB')
# Reduce dimensions until file size is under 50KB
while True:
img_buffer = io.BytesIO()
img.save(img_buffer, format='PNG')
img_buffer_size = img_buffer.tell() / 1024 # size in KB
if img_buffer_size <= target_size_kb:
break
# Calculate new dimensions (reduce by 10%)
new_width = int(img.width * 0.9)
new_height = int(img.height * 0.9)
img = img.resize((new_width, new_height), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
# Save the final resized image
resized_file_path = os.path.splitext(file_path)[0] + "_50K.png"
with open(resized_file_path, 'wb') as f_out:
f_out.write(img_buffer.getvalue())
print(f"Resized image saved as: {resized_file_path}")
def resize_images():
# Open file dialog to select images
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw() # Hide the main window
file_paths = filedialog.askopenfilenames()
if not file_paths:
return # No files were selected
for file_path in root.tk.splitlist(file_paths):
try:
reduce_image_size(file_path)

print(f"An error occurred with {file_path}: {e}")

did this script actually work?
because you have py import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog but i dont think the tkinter module exists under that name because it was imported under the name of tk
full code in a codebox ```py
import io
import os
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
from PIL import Image
def reduce_image_size(file_path, target_size_kb=50):
# Open the image
with Image.open(file_path) as img:
# Convert RGBA to RGB if necessary
if img.mode == 'RGBA':
img = img.convert('RGB')
# Reduce dimensions until file size is under 50KB
while True:
img_buffer = io.BytesIO()
img.save(img_buffer, format='PNG')
img_buffer_size = img_buffer.tell() / 1024 # size in KB
if img_buffer_size <= target_size_kb:
break
# Calculate new dimensions (reduce by 10%)
new_width = int(img.width * 0.9)
new_height = int(img.height * 0.9)
img = img.resize((new_width, new_height), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
# Save the final resized image
resized_file_path = os.path.splitext(file_path)[0] + "_50K.png"
with open(resized_file_path, 'wb') as f_out:
f_out.write(img_buffer.getvalue())
print(f"Resized image saved as: {resized_file_path}")
def resize_images():
# Open file dialog to select images
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw() # Hide the main window
file_paths = filedialog.askopenfilenames()
if not file_paths:
return # No files were selected
for file_path in root.tk.splitlist(file_paths):
try:
reduce_image_size(file_path)
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred with {file_path}: {e}")```
Yup they both work a champ, but in case a copied and pasted wrong, here's the scripts from my HD
