Repetitive tasks are always time-consuming and boring. Think about wanting to crop 100 photos one by one, or tasks like fetching APIs, correcting spelling and grammar—all of these tasks take a lot of time. Why not automate them? In today’s article, I will share with you 10 Python automation scripts.

So, please save this article to your collection list for future reference. In the IT industry, a programmer’s learning never ends…

Now, let’s get started.

‌#01 Image Optimizer‌

Using this fantastic automation script can help improve image processing. You can edit images just like in Photoshop.

This script uses the popular Pillow module.

Image Optimizing

pip install Pillow

import PIL

Cropping

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.crop((34, 23, 100, 100))

Resizing

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.resize((50, 50))

Flipping

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.transpose(PIL.Image.FLIP_LEFT_RIGHT)

Rotating

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.rotate(360)

Compressing

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im.save(“Image1.jpg”, optimize=True, quality=90)

Blurring

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.filter(PIL.ImageFilter.BLUR)

Sharpening

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = im.filter(PIL.ImageFilter.SHARPEN)

Set Brightness

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = PIL.ImageEnhance.Brightness(im)
im = im.enhance(1.5)

Set Contrast

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = PIL.ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
im = im.enhance(1.5)

Adding Filters

im = PIL.Image.open(“Image1.jpg”)
im = PIL.ImageOps.grayscale(im)
im = PIL.ImageOps.invert(im)
im = PIL.ImageOps.posterize(im, 4)

Saving

im.save(“Image1.jpg”)

‌#02 Video Optimizer‌

By using the following automation script, you can not only use Python to optimize videos but also images. This script uses the Moviepy module, which allows you to trim, add audio, set video speed, add VFX, and more.

Video Optimizer

pip install moviepy

import moviepy.editor as pyedit

Load the Video

video = pyedit.VideoFileClip(“vid.mp4”)

Trimming

vid1 = video.subclip(0, 10)
vid2 = video.subclip(20, 40)
final_vid = pyedit.concatenate_videoclips([vid1, vid2])

Speed up the video

final_vid = final_vid.speedx(2)

Adding Audio to the video

aud = pyedit.AudioFileClip(“bg.mp3”)
final_vid = final_vid.set_audio(aud)

Reverse the Video

final_vid = final_vid.fx(pyedit.vfx.time_mirror)

Merge two videos

vid1 = pyedit.VideoFileClip(“vid1.mp4”)
vid2 = pyedit.VideoFileClip(“vid2.mp4”)
final_vid = pyedit.concatenate_videoclips([vid1, vid2])

Add VFX to Video

vid1 = final_vid.fx(pyedit.vfx.mirror_x)
vid2 = final_vid.fx(pyedit.vfx.invert_colors)
final_vid = pyedit.concatenate_videoclips([vid1, vid2])

Add Images to Video

img1 = pyedit.ImageClip(“img1.jpg”)
img2 = pyedit.ImageClip(“img2.jpg”)
final_vid = pyedit.concatenate_videoclips([img1, img2])

Save the video

final_vid.write_videofile(“final.mp4”)

‌#03 PDF to Images‌

This small automation script conveniently takes entire PDF pages and converts them into images. The script uses the popular PyMuPDF module, known for its PDF text extraction.

PDF to Images

pip install PyMuPDF

import fitz
def pdf_to_images(pdf_file):
doc = fitz.open(pdf_file)
for p in doc:
pix = p.get_pixmap()
output = f”page{p.number}.png”
pix.writePNG(output)
pdf_to_images(“test.pdf”)

‌#04 Fetch API Data‌

Need to fetch API data from a database or send API requests to a server? Then this automation script is a handy tool for you. Using the Urllib3 module, it allows you to fetch and post API requests.

pip install urllib3

import urllib3

Fetch API data

url = “https://api.github.com/users/psf/repos”
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
response = http.request(‘GET’, url)
print(response.status)
print(response.data)

Post API data

url = “https://httpbin.org/post”
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
response = http.request(‘POST’, url, fields={‘hello’: ‘world’})
print(response.status)

‌#05 Battery Notifier‌

This handy script allows you to set the battery percentage at which you want to be notified. The script uses Pyler for notifications and Psutil to get the current battery percentage.

Battery Notifier

pip install plyer

from plyer import notification
import psutil
from time import sleep
while True:
battery = psutil.sensors_battery()
life = battery.percent
if life < 50:
notification.notify(
title = “Battery Low”,
message = “Please connect to power source”,
timeout = 10
)
sleep(60)

‌#06 Grammar Fixer‌

Tired of proofreading your long articles or texts? Then, you can try this automation script, which will scan your text and correct grammatical errors. This fantastic script uses the Happytransformer module, a machine learning module trained to fix grammatical errors in text.

Grammar Fixer

pip install happytransformer

from happytransformer import HappyTextToText as HappyTTT
from happytransformer import TTSettings
def Grammar_Fixer(Text):
Grammar = HappyTTT(“T5″,”prithivida/grammar_error_correcter_v1”)
config = TTSettings(do_sample=True, top_k=10, max_length=100)
corrected = Grammar.generate_text(Text, args=config)
print(“Corrected Text: “, corrected.text)
Text = “This is smple tet we how know this”
