Use Python for PNG Images Dithering

Create Python Apps to Dither PNG Images and Photos via Server APIs

How to Dither PNG Images and Photos with Python

Enhancing image and photo parameters for a website significantly impacts web traffic. Among these optimizations, reducing an image’s color palette effectively minimizes file sizes and accelerates page loading. Yet, to prevent abrupt edges or disturbances in color gradients, leveraging the dithering method is recommended. This technique aids in refining color transitions and enhancing overall image quality. It introduces a slight “noise” that positively influences image perception. For dither images in the PNG format, we’ll apply 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

Steps to Dither PNG via Python

You need the aspose-imaging-python-net to try the following workflow in your own environment.

  • load PNG files with Image.Load method;
  • dither image;
  • save dithered image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.

System Requirements

Aspose.Imaging for Python is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows / Linux with .NET Core Runtime.
  • Python and PyPi package manager.

  • 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.

    PNG What is PNG File Format

    PNG, Portable Network Graphics, refers to a type of raster image file format that use loseless compression. This file format was created as a replacement of Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and has no copyright limitations. However, PNG file format does not support animations. PNG file format supports loseless image compression that makes it popular among its users. With the passage of time, PNG has evolved as one of the mostly used image file format. Almost all Operating Systems have support for opening PNG files. For example, Microsoft Windows viewer has the capability to open PNG files as the OS has by default the support available as part of installation.
