Welcome folks today in this post we will be converting png image to ico inside a desktop app built in python using tkinter library. All the full source code of the application is given below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the following libraries using the pip command as shown below
pip install tkinter
pip install pillow
After installing these libraries now make an app.py filea and copy paste the following code
app.py

import tkinter.filedialog import tkinter from PIL import Image # Initialize Tkinter window root = tkinter.Tk() # Initialize variable to store image path img = None # Initialize font, background color, foreground color and width for the buttons font = ('helvetica', 12, 'bold') bg = 'blue' fg = 'white' width = 15 def getPNG(): '''Function to get png image location and open it with pillow''' global img import_file_path = tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=[("PNG File",'.png')]) img = Image.open(import_file_path) def convertToICO(): global img '''Function to convert image from png to ico format with pillow and save to user specified location''' if img is None: tkinter.messagebox.showerror("Error", "No File selected") else: export_file_path = tkinter.filedialog.asksaveasfilename(defaultextension='.ico') img.save(export_file_path) tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("Success", "File converted and saved") # Set the window title root.title('PNG to ICO Converter') canvas1 = tkinter.Canvas(root, width=500, height=350, bg='lightblue') canvas1.pack() # Set the screen title label1 = tkinter.Label(root, text='PNG to ICO Converter', bg='lightblue') label1.config(font=('helvetica', 20)) canvas1.create_window(250, 100, window=label1) # Browse button to browse for image browseButton = tkinter.Button(text="Import PNG File", command=getPNG, bg=bg, fg=fg, font=font, width=width) canvas1.create_window(250, 150, window=browseButton) # Convert button to convert selected image and save saveAsButton = tkinter.Button(text='Convert PNG to ICO', command=convertToICO, bg=bg, fg=fg, font=font, width=width) canvas1.create_window(250, 200, window=saveAsButton) root.mainloop() |
Now if you execute the python script app.py by typing the below command
python app.py
As you can see in the desktop gui app you will be allowed to select input png file when you click the button of import png file and after selecting the image it will convert the png to ico file
