It provides a set of processor classes\u2014such as ResizeToFit, ResizeToFill, SmartResize, and Adjust\u2014that handle image transformations with a consistent interface. You instantiate a processor with your desired parameters, call its process() method on a Pillow Image object, and get back the modified image. For complex workflows, ProcessorPipeline lets you chain multiple processors together.\n\nBeyond processors, PILKit includes utility functions for preparing images for saving (handling transparency and quantizing), gracefully saving images while avoiding common errors, and converting between image formats, extensions, and MIME types. The package is stable and permissively licensed under BSD, making it a straightforward choice for projects that need readable, maintainable image processing code.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with Pillow and want a cleaner, more readable API for common tasks. The low install friction, permissive BSD license, and Production/Stable status make it a safe choice. The aging maintenance status (last release 2023-09-27) is not a blocker for stable image processing use cases, but monitor the repository if you need active development or support for newer Python versions."},"id":"pilkit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pilkit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pilkit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pilkit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-09-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pilkit","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A collection of utilities and processors for the Python Imaging Library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":595266,"position":5841,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0"}
