photoscaler 1.0.6

Professional Image and Video Scaling Library with Subprocess Support

PhotoScaler 🚀 (v1.0.6)

PhotoScaler is a professional-grade media processing library for Python. It provides high-fidelity upscaling/downscaling for both images and videos, featuring automatic audio preservation, batch processing, and advanced sharpening filters.

---

✨ Key Features

• Audio Sync: Automatically extracts and merges original audio back into scaled videos using FFmpeg.
• Smart Scaling: Uses LANCZOS4 interpolation for superior detail reconstruction.
• Visual Enhancement: Integrated sharpening kernels to restore clarity after scaling.
• Batch Processing: Process entire directories of images or videos by passing a folder path.
• Aspect Ratio Guard: Optional keep_ratio setting to prevent image stretching or squashing.
• Animation Support: Full support for animated GIFs, preserving frame sequences and timing.
• Case-Insensitive API: Flexible parameter handling (e.g., SeeProcess or seeprocess).

🛠 Prerequisites

To use the video audio features, FFmpeg must be installed on your system.

• Windows: Download from gyan.dev and add to your PATH.

📦 Installation

For Users (PyPI)Bashpip install photoscaler 🚀 Usage Guide1. High-End Video UpscalingScale a video to 4K while keeping the audio and adding sharpness.Pythonfrom photoscaler import scaler

scaler( file=r"C:\Media\input.mp4", mode="upscale", resolution="3840x2160", output=r"C:\Exports", SeeProcess=True, # Live terminal progress bar sharpness=True, # Apply sharpening filter keep_ratio=True, # Maintain original proportions quality=100 # Maximum output quality ) 2. Batch Processing (Folders)Process every image or video in a folder to a specific width automatically.Pythonfrom photoscaler import scaler

Processes all supported files in the directory

scaler( file=r"C:\Photos\Album", mode="upscale", resolution="1920", # Auto-calculates height SeeProcess=True, sharpness=True ) 3. Format Conversion & Quality ControlDownscale and convert a PNG to a high-quality WebP.Pythonfrom photoscaler import scaler

scaler( file="logo.png", mode="downscale", resolution="500x500", OutputType="webp", quality=90 )
