Problem Formulation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Given an image, how to get the size of the image with PIL or any other Python library?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting the size of an image with Python PIL(Python Image Library) basically implies that you want to get its height and width in pixels. <\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong> Consider the following image:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
Download Image Here<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n

\"\ud83d\udd25\"Challenge: <\/strong>Get the size of the above image with PIL or any other Python library.<\/p>\n

Method 1: <\/strong>Using img.size<\/h2>\n

Approach:<\/strong> To get the size of the image:
\u27a2\u00a0open it up by calling the PIL function Image.open('image file path')<\/code>.
\u27a2\u00a0Then use the PIL property image.size<\/code> on the opened image. This returns a tuple<\/strong><\/a> containing the width and height of the image in pixels.
\u27a2\u00a0Unpack the tuple in two different variables to store the width and height individually.<\/p>\n

code:<\/strong><\/p>\n

from PIL import Image\nimg = Image.open(\"image.jpg\")\nwidth, height = img.size\nprint(f'width: {width}\\nheight: {height}')<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
width: 640\nheight: 426<\/pre>\n
#Alternative Formulation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Instead of using the img.size property, you can use the img.width <\/strong>and img.height <\/strong>properties to store\/display the height and width of the image separately.<\/p>\n
Here’s the code that demonstrates how you can use the width and height properties of the PIL library.<\/p>\n
from PIL import Image\nimg = Image.open(\"image.jpg\")\nwidth = img.width\nheight = img.height\nprint(f'width: {width}\\nheight: {height}')<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
width: 640\nheight: 426<\/pre>\n
\"\ud83d\udde8\"TRIVIA: <\/strong>PIL<\/em>(Python Imaging Library) is a Python library that is used for image processing. It supports numerous image formats which include \u201cjpeg<\/code>\u201d, \u201cpng<\/code>\u201d, \u201cppm<\/code>\u201d, \u201ctiff<\/code>\u201d, \u201cbmp<\/code>\u201d, \u201cgif<\/code>\u201d, etc. It is an extremely useful library that provides a plethora of image editing capabilities like getting the size of an image, cropping an image, etc. The Image<\/code> module of the PIL library is used to represent the\u00a0PIL<\/em>\u00a0images.\u00a0<\/p>\n
