Compress JPEG using Python

This short guide explains the process to compress JPEG using Python. It has a list of steps, IDE settings, and a sample code for developing a JPEG Size Reducer using Python. All the details are provided to define the compression parameters for generating the desired output JPG as per the requirements.

Steps to Shrink JPEG Size using Python

  1. Set the environment to use Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET to shrink a JPG file
  2. Import the desired classes and objects from various modules in the API
  3. Load the input JPG file into the Image object using the load() method
  4. Instantiate the JpegOptions object for defining the JPG save options
  5. Set properties, including the color type and compression type
  6. Save the output image after applying the above compression parameters

These steps describe how to compress the JPEG using Python. Commence the process by importing all the desired classes and objects from various modules including imaging, imaging.imageoptions, and imaging.fileformats.jpeg followed by loading the source JPG file into the Image class. Create an instance of the JpegOptions to set the parameters such as compression type and color type.

Code for JPG Photo Compressor using Python

The above sample code has demonstrated how to reduce the JPG size using Python. You can set different color types, including CMYK, RGB, YCCK, and Y_CB_CR. Similarly, compression mode can be set to BASELINE, JPEG_LS, and LOSSLESS.
