Merging 4 images into one with Python and PIL/Pillow

combine.py

# Combine multiple images into one.
#
# To install the Pillow module on Mac OS X:
#
# $ xcode-select --install
# $ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2
# $ pip install Pillow

from __future__ import print_function
import os

from PIL import Image

files = [
  '~/Downloads/1.jpg',
  '~/Downloads/2.jpg',
  '~/Downloads/3.jpg',
  '~/Downloads/4.jpg']

result = Image.new("RGB", (800, 800))

for index, file in enumerate(files):
  path = os.path.expanduser(file)
  img = Image.open(path)
  img.thumbnail((400, 400), Image.ANTIALIAS)
  x = index // 2 * 400
  y = index % 2 * 400
  w, h = img.size
  print('pos {0},{1} size {2},{3}'.format(x, y, w, h))
  result.paste(img, (x, y, x + w, y + h))

result.save(os.path.expanduser('~/image.jpg'))

You saved me , thanks a lot !

Thanks a lot for sharing. My requirement is to combine 3 images to make book cover. That is Front Image, Spine, Back Image

Hey :)
I forked your cool snipped. Check it out!

It is so much helpful, thank you for sharing!

I need to read two images from cameras in raspberry pi and then save the images side by side

Hi, how are you? I have a question about concatenating the layers of the images. For example. I have two images: one RGB (three layers) and another grayscale (one layer) of the same size. How do I join (unite) the two images, that is, join (unite) the four layers into a single array? I need is to have a 4-layer output.

Hello,
I want to have 2 types of layout: single column and 2 column with random sized sub-images. Can you help me with that?

How can we resize the height of the images so they scale properly without leaving black backgrounds?
I am using images of size 720 X 480

Thanks a bunch.

I've created a function to stitch an arbitrary number of images. I am suing STL10 dataset from torchvision. So, please change the folder_of_data = '/home/morawi/data' to the one you are using and off you go.
