history

Project history and usage

imgp is a Python command-line batch image resizer and rotator by Arun Prakash Jana. The project emphasizes fast bulk processing of JPEG and PNG files, recursive directory handling, EXIF-related options, shell completion, and minimal dependencies.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created on 2016-08-08. Its early releases used the name imgd, with v1.0 published on 2016-08-16 and v2.0 on 2016-09-30; later releases settled on imgp as the package identity. The README positions imgp as a stronger, file-manager-independent replacement for the Nautilus Image Converter extension, with speed and desktop portability as central goals.

Across the 2.x series, imgp accumulated features typical of serious batch-photo tooling: adaptive resizing, rotation, JPEG quality controls, PNG-to-JPEG conversion, overwrite and recursive modes, optimization, EXIF erasure, and shell completions. The README also documents use with Pillow and optional Pillow-SIMD for SIMD acceleration.

Adoption history

imgp spread beyond Homebrew into several Linux and cross-platform package channels listed in the input metadata, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Nix, and openSUSE. PyPI metadata lists imgp as a Python package, and the README links packaging status plus release packages for multiple distributions.

Repository metadata shows roughly 1k GitHub stars, while Homebrew analytics show modest but steady formula installs. That footprint is consistent with a practical Unix image utility: useful for people who batch-resize photos, screenshots, and media folders, but not a general-purpose image-processing framework.

How it is used

The README documents command forms for resizing by resolution, percentage, or megapixel target; rotating by degrees; recursive traversal; overwriting or suffixing output files; converting PNG to JPEG; and processing the working directory when no path is supplied. Operational notes warn about lossy resize and rotate operations, overwrite behavior, and repeated processing of generated files.

Why package nerds care

imgp matters in package-manager culture because it is the kind of compact CLI that replaces GUI extensions and ad hoc ImageMagick loops with a single installable command. It also reflects the practical packaging appeal of Python-plus-Pillow tools: easy to distribute, scriptable, and friendly to desktop and shell workflows.
