Aspose.Imaging for Python
Overview
How to Binarize GIF Images and Photos with Python
The introduction of color photography marked a pivotal shift in the photographic sphere. Nevertheless, the allure of the classic black and white image still persists. In spite of the prevalence of color cameras, many individuals still opt to convert their photographs into black and white. This transformation is typically achieved through a binarization process, replacing each pixel with a binary value: “0” for white and “1” for black. Black and white images are often used for more than just artistic purposes, finding practical application in scenarios such as printing illustrations in publications like books and newspapers. Within the Python graphics library, you have the ability to set a pixel brightness threshold. Pixels below this threshold assume a black color, while those above it adopt a white color. An adaptive binarization technique is also available, considering the surrounding pixel values to create seamless transitions between color boundaries in the resultant black and white image. For binarizing GIF files, we will utilize Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Python platform. You may install it using the following command from your system command.
The system command line
>> pip install aspose-imaging-python-net

About Aspose.Imaging for Python API
Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.Binarize GIF via Online App

GIF What is GIF File Format
A GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a type of highly compressed image. Owned by Unisys, GIF uses the LZW compression algorithm that does not degrade the image quality. For each image GIF typically allow up to 8 bits per pixel and up to 256 colours are allowed across the image. In contrast to a JPEG image, which can display up to 16 million colours and fairly touches the limits of the human eye. Back when the internet emerged, GIFs remained the best choice because they required low bandwidth and compatible for the graphics that consume solid areas of colour. An animated GIF combines numerous images or frames into a single file and displays them in a sequence to generate an animated clip or a short video. The colour limitations are up to 256 for each frame and are likely to be the least suitable for reproducing other images and photographs with colour gradient.
