Create dynamic image using Python with Pillow package

The Pillow is an amazing Python Imaging Library. Often I need to make dynamic images & here is the basic code to create an image using Python with Pillow package.

from PIL import Image
import random

width = 400
height = 400

img  = Image.new( mode = "RGB", size = (width, height), color = tuple(random.choices(range(256), k=3)) )
img.save("your_image_name.jpg")

To do an automated testing, I need one thousand images in a directory. To generate those images, I have used the above code with a loop. Within 20 seconds, the images are ready in my directory!

from PIL import Image
import random

width = 400
height = 400

for i in range(1,1000):
	img  = Image.new( mode = "RGB", size = (width, height), color = tuple(random.choices(range(256), k=3)) )
	img.save("img_"+str(i)+".jpg")
