PilBlike
PilBlike is a free and open‑source Python library that expands the functionality of the Python Imaging Library (PIL) for batch image processing tasks. The project was first released in 2018 by software engineer Alex Klementov and is maintained through a voluntary community on GitHub. PilBlike offers a simple, fluent interface that mirrors many of the core PIL functions while adding convenient features such as parallel execution, automatic file format conversion, and named pipe support for streaming workflows.
Key capabilities of PilBlike include a high‑level “Batch” class that can apply a series of image transformations
Although PilBlike is primarily aimed at developers and digital asset managers, it has found use in academic
