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.

Answer 1

Just updating this question with a more modern wrapper This library wraps Pillow (a fork of PIL) https://pypi.org/project/python-resize-image/

Allowing you to do something like this :-

from PIL import Image
from resizeimage import resizeimage

fd_img = open('test-image.jpeg', 'r')
img = Image.open(fd_img)
img = resizeimage.resize_width(img, 200)
img.save('test-image-width.jpeg', img.format)
fd_img.close()
