How I Edit Photos for Social Media in Python (includes code)

Learn how to create and manipulate digital images using Python

We are living in an age of social media. A place where we want our photos on Instagram and Facebook to look impressive than our real personalities. We want our timelines to look fabulous, filled with beautiful pictures. To achieve this goal, we often end up downloading software and apps that we don’t require at all in the first place. To top it off, some of these apps are so complex and difficult to understand and learn that we end up uninstalling them after 2 minutes of use.

In this article, I will show you how I edit my photos for social media platforms like Fb, Twitter, and Instagram using the python pillow library and how you can do the same. This article is also for developers who want to learn about the python image processing library. For each question, we will walk through a possible solution code in the python programming language. So without wasting any more seconds, let us get started.


If you like the post and want to connect, you could do that by reaching out to me on Twitter. I would love to have a good Dev conversation or a DevJoke ( whatever you prefer ). I bet we could learn a lot from each other.

Hi there, we encourage authors to share their entire posts here on DEV, rather than mostly pointing to an external link. Doing so helps ensure that readers don’t have to jump around to too many different pages, and it helps focus the conversation right here in the comments section.

If you choose to do so, you also have the option to add a canonical URL directly to your post.
