How can I resize images in Django using Pillow?

You can resize images in Django using the Pillow library by first installing it with pip install Pillow. Then, you can use the Image module to open and resize your images.

Can you show me a code example for resizing an image?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from PIL import Image

# Open an image file
with Image.open('path/to/image.jpg') as img:
    # Resize image
    img = img.resize((width, height))
    img.save('path/to/resized_image.jpg')

What dimensions should I use for resizing?

It depends on your needs! Common dimensions are 800x600 for web images, but you can choose any size that fits your design.

Can I maintain the aspect ratio while resizing?

Yes! You can maintain the aspect ratio by calculating the new dimensions based on the original size. Here's how:

width, height = img.size
aspect_ratio = width / height
new_width = 800  # for example
new_height = int(new_width / aspect_ratio)
img = img.resize((new_width, new_height))
