Python 3 image converter built with the Pillow library to easily bulk convert JPG images to PNG.
Converted images can be stored in the source directory or a target directory which is created if it doesn't already exist.
This project is based on an exercise in the Complete Python Developer:Zero to Mastery course.
Install all dependencies, preferably in a new virtual environment.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now you can use the image_converter module either as an import or run it from the command line.
The image converter takes two arguments: source directory and target directory.
Target directory is optional. The program will save the converted files in the source directory if target directory is omitted.
Both relative and absolute paths can be used.
cd <root of source> # If you are using a relative source path
python3 -m image_converter <source> <[,target]>

Converted 4 JPG images to PNG
If the target directory has a relative path and does not exist, it will be created relative to the source directory.
If the target directory contains PNG images with the same names as the source, these will be skipped over during conversion.
