python script to convert dir or file of image to png
here is a simple code to convert dir/file of images to png in batch.
import os, glob, argparse, datetime, subprocess
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add\_argument('inputs', type=str, help='path to input')
args = parser.parse\_args()
input\_path = args.inputs
assert os.path.exists(input\_path)
if os.path.isdir(input\_path):
input\_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(input\_path, '\*'))
else:
input\_files = \[input\_path\]
timestamp=datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%y%m%d\_%H%M%S")
outputdir = 'testoutput/{}'.format(timestamp)
os.makedirs(outputdir)
print("outputdir: {}".format(outputdir))
for f in input\_files:
basename = os.path.basename(f)
filename, \_ = os.path.splitext(basename)
savepath = os.path.join(outputdir, '{}.png'.format(filename))
cmd = 'convert {} {}'.format(f, savepath)
subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True)
