Overview
How to Resize GIF Images and Photos with Python
When preparing images and photos for website publication, it’s crucial to consider the specificity of web technologies. A key aspect in this process involves adjusting the sizes of the images. There is often a necessity to scale down images and save files in various resolutions. For instance, gallery pages featuring previews should incorporate small file thumbnails, while pages designated for viewing selected images must offer high-resolution options. Resizing large files can be achieved by reducing the total number of pixels, but the reduction in file size must be done without compromising image quality. During the scaling process, it is important to consider the data compression setting to maintain a balance between image size and quality. Smaller images load faster, a particularly significant advantage on mobile connections, ultimately enhancing the user experience on your website. Automating the bulk file size conversion is easily achievable using the Python library. To resize GIF images, 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.Resize 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.
