PILKit is a collection of utilities for working with PIL (the Python Imaging Library).
One of its main features is a set of processors which expose a simple interface for performing manipulations on PIL images.

PIL_ or Pillow_.pip install pilkit (or clone the source and put the pilkit module on
your path).. note:: If you've never seen Pillow before, it considers itself a more-frequently updated "friendly" fork of PIL that's compatible with setuptools. As such, it shares the same namespace as PIL does and is a drop-in replacement.

The "pilkit.processors" module contains several classes for processing PIL images, which provide an easy to understand API:
.. code-block:: python
from pilkit.processors import ResizeToFit
img = Image.open('/path/to/my/image.png')
processor = ResizeToFit(100, 100)
new_img = processor.process(img)
A few of the included processors are:
ResizeToFitResizeToFillSmartResizeAdjustTrimBorderColorTransposeThere's also a ProcessorPipeline class for executing processors
sequentially:
.. code-block:: python
from pilkit.processors import ProcessorPipeline, ResizeToFit, Adjust
img = Image.open('/path/to/my/image.png')
processor = ProcessorPipeline([Adjust(color=0), ResizeToFit(100, 100)])
new_image = processor.process(img)
In addition to the processors, PILKit contains a few utilities to ease the pain of working with PIL. Some examples:
prepare_image
Prepares the image for saving to the provided format by doing some
common-sense conversions, including preserving transparency and quantizing.
save_image
Wraps PIL's Image.save() method in order to gracefully handle PIL's
"Suspension not allowed here" errors, and (optionally) prepares the image
using prepare_image
Utilities are also included for converting between formats, extensions, and mimetypes.
Please use the GitHub issue tracker <https://github.com/matthewwithanm/pilkit/issues>_
to report bugs. A mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-imagekit>_
also exists to discuss the project and ask questions, as well as the official
#imagekit <irc://irc.freenode.net/imagekit>_ channel on Freenode. (Both of
these are shared with the django-imagekit_ project—from which PILKit spun
off.)
