Formify-Image format converter and sticker generator

Formify is a lightweight web application that allows users to convert image formats (e.g., JPG to PNG, PNG to GIF, etc.) or generate stickers by resizing uploaded images.

Features

• Convert images between common formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF.
• Generate sticker-ready images by resizing to standard dimensions.
• Simple and intuitive browser interface built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Fast processing using Python's Pillow library on the backend.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vanilla)
• Backend: Python (Flask)
• Image Processing: Pillow (Python Imaging Library)

How It Works

Data Flow

1. User Interface:

   • The user selects between two options: Convert Format or Make Sticker.
   • An image file is selected using a file input form.

2. Upload & Processing:

   • Upon form submission, the image is sent as multipart/form-data via a POST request to the Flask backend.
   • For conversion:
     • The backend receives the image and desired format.
     • The image is opened using Pillow, optionally converted to RGB (for JPEGs), and saved in the requested format.
   • For sticker generation:
     • The uploaded image is resized to 512x512 pixels to standardize the sticker format.
     • The image is saved as a .png with transparency preserved.

3. Response & Display:

   • The server returns a JSON response containing the processed image's URL.
   • The frontend displays the converted image and provides a direct download link.
