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

The following script creates nice thumbnails of all JPEG images preserving aspect ratios with 128x128 max resolution.

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("D:\\Pictures\\John.jpg")
img.thumbnail((680,680))
img.save("D:\\Pictures\\John_resize.jpg")
