Python:Pillow .save()

In the Pillow library, the .save() method saves an image to a specified filename. The filename, provided by the user or the code writer, determines the format in which the image is saved.

Syntax

image.save(fp, format=none, **params)

Parameters:

• fp: The file path or file object where the image will be saved.
• format (Optional): The format to save the image in (e.g., "JPEG", "PNG"). If omitted, Pillow infers the format from the file extension.
• **params (Optional): Additional parameters specific to the image format.

Return value:
