Got an AttributeError, so changed "im = im.resize( (100,100) )" just to "im.resize( (100,100) )" Thank you for the snippet!

Thanks for the snippet

Thanks for this snippet. Unfortunately, in my save function, I would like to change the filename of the file image just before "super(Modify,self).save()" but Django create another image with extra characters, something like "2018-03-23_optic.png" becomes "2018-03-23_optic_JJOPPPX.png". How can I keep my own filename?

thank you very much for this; it helped me a lot! I had to make a couple of minor changes

a) to convert the images to jpeg prior to saving them b) only apply the resize if the image is too big c) use thumbnail() to do the resize

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    # Opening the uploaded image
    img = Image.open(self.image)

    if img.height > 200 or img.width > 200:

        output_size = (200, 200)
        img.thumbnail(output_size)
        img = img.convert('RGB')

        output = BytesIO()
        img.save(output, format='JPEG')
        output.seek(0)

        # change the imagefield value to be the newley modifed image value
        self.image = InMemoryUploadedFile(output, 'ImageField',
                                          f'{self.image.name.split(".")[0]}.jpg',
                                          'image/jpeg', sys.getsizeof(output),
                                          None)

    super().save(*args, **kwargs)

I tried your snippet but there is a problem that I could not solve. If thumbnailed a portrait oorientated photo, the photo is rotated as landscape. How can I prevent rotation?

I solved the issue with Pil.ImageOps.exif_transpose

``` ...

image.thumbnail((780, 780)) image = ImageOps.exif_transpose(image) image.save(output, format='JPEG', quality=100) ... ```
