# Image Optimization

## Overview
Pillow is the friendly PIL fork by Alex Clark and Contributors, providing image processing routines.

## When to Use This Skill
Use to compress static user uploads, resize avatars, or convert images to WebP.

## Quick Start (with runnable code examples)

```python
from PIL import Image

def optimize_img(input_path, output_path):
    img = Image.open(input_path)
    # Compress and convert to WebP
    img.save(output_path, "WEBP", quality=80)
    print("Image compressed successfully.")
```

## Advanced Usage
Generate thumbnails while maintaining aspect ratio, apply blurring filters, extract pixel colors, and build watermarks.
