A lightweight desktop tool to resize and compress images using Python and a simple GUI built with Tkinter.
Designed to reduce image size without significant quality loss, with automatic compression and dimension adjustment.

• Compress images to under 300KB (or any specified target).
• Resize images (default: 800x800 pixels).
• Supports common formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP.
• Simple graphical interface.
• User alerts for success or failure of the operation.

pip install -r requirements.txt

• pillow – For image processing.
• pyinstaller – To optionally build an executable file.

1. Run the script myfoto.py.
2. Select an image from your system.
3. The image will be resized and compressed to the same directory with a name like image_compressed.jpg.
4. A message box will confirm whether the compression was successful.

python myfoto.py

To evolve tameronline-foto into a truly production-ready image compression tool, several enhancements are planned or suggested for future development:

• 🖥️ Modern GUI
  Upgrade the interface from Tkinter to a more modern toolkit such as PyQt5, Ttk, or even a cross-platform solution like Electron for a smoother user experience.

• 📁 Batch Processing Support
  Enable users to compress multiple images at once by selecting folders instead of single files.

• 🎛️ Advanced Compression Controls
  Add settings for users to adjust output quality, choose specific formats like WebP, and fine-tune compression ratio.

• 🧰 Installer Package
  Create a user-friendly Windows installer (using tools like Inno Setup or NSIS) to simplify deployment.

• 🌐 Dedicated Landing Page
  Develop a simple static website for the project with a clean UI, feature overview, screenshots, and direct downloads.

• 📢 Release & Distribution
  Publish the application to broader platforms like Product Hunt, Softpedia, AlternativeTo, and relevant open-source directories.

• 🔔 Update Notification System
  Implement a lightweight mechanism to notify users when a new version is available (e.g., via API or version check).
