put a green boarder and text around multiple pictures

[jackosullivan]

I have 90 pictures that I need to add a green boarder and text around (see image attached). I then need these pictures to be saved into a folder where their dimensions are 400 x 300 pixels and then saved again into a folder where their dimensions are 120 x 90 pixels. Is there a way to do this using python?

The answer is yes.
It is not diffficult, but requires some fidgeting, depending on the starting conditions.
1) Are all the pictures the same size to start with ?
2) How big do you want the border to be (in pixels) ?
All you need is:
from PIL import Image
Determine height and with, resize (with respect of proportions)
For the border, i would make a template picture (green) slightly bigger than 400x300,
and put the pictures in the middle and the text at the bottom. There are other posiibilities.

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply.
Yes all the pictures are the same size to start with and the green boarder needs to be 10 pixels in thickness

I do not know your level of Python experience ,
but if what i'm suggesting is news to you, i would recommend using
Gimp, PSelements, etc. It will save hours.
I would.

Zero python experience but will give it a go. Thanks.

Border is quite easy example.

# pip install pillow
from PIL import Image, ImageOps

img = Image.open("task.jpg")
# border color
color = "green"
# top, right, bottom, left
border = (20, 20, 20, 20)
new_img = ImageOps.expand(img, border=border, fill=color)
# save new image
new_img.save("image_result.jpg")
# show new bordered image in preview
new_img.show()

For adding text look at Pillow ImageFont Module.
Read many images in a loop is a stander task in Python,eg i would suggest pathlib for this.
Maybe easier to in a two process step one add green border,step two add text.
