Image Processing Server with Flask

This repository contains a Flask-based web application designed for basic image processing operations. Users can upload an image and select a variety of transformations to apply, including resizing, rotating, and converting images to grayscale. The processed images can be previewed and downloaded through a user-friendly web interface.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Python 3.9 or higher installed on your machine.
• PIL (Python Imaging Library) installed, we're using Pillow in this project, a modern fork of PIL.
• Flask and Flasgger for the web server and Swagger UI documentation.

Installation

Follow these steps to get your development env running:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/jay-singhvi/PyFlask-RPC-ImgProcessor.git
   

2. Navigate to the cloned repository directory:

   cd PyFlask-RPC-ImgProcessor
   

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Note: This project assumes you have a requirements.txt file listing all the necessary packages.

Usage

To run the Flask application, execute the following command from the root directory of the project:

python IP_Flask_Server.py

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ipMain in your web browser to access the web application.

How to Use the Web Application

1. Upload an Image: Select an image file from your computer to upload.
2. Choose Operations: Select the image operations you wish to apply (e.g., resize, rotate, convert to grayscale).
3. Submit: Submit the form to process the image.
4. View and Download: View the processed images and download them if desired.
