About Pillow
Pillow is the standard Python imaging library, providing image opening, manipulation, and saving across a wide range of formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP, and more).
It's the actively maintained fork of the original PIL (Python Imaging Library) and is a near-universal dependency in Python projects that touch images — resizing, cropping, format conversion, basic filters, and drawing text/shapes onto images are all handled through a simple, well-documented API.
Used constantly as a building block inside larger applications (web backends generating thumbnails, data pipelines preprocessing images for ML, automation scripts) rather than as a standalone end-user tool.
