Code With Harry Tutorial: Create an Image Manipulation Website Using Flask and Python

Are you interested in learning how to create your own image manipulation website using Flask and Python? Look no further! In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process step by step.

What You Will Need

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

• A working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Python
• Python installed on your computer
• Flask installed on your computer

Step 1: Setting Up Your Flask Project

First, create a new directory for your project and navigate to it in your terminal. Then, create a new virtual environment by running the following command:

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

source venv/bin/activate

Next, install Flask by running the following command:

pip install Flask

Create a new Python file for your application, for example app.py. In this file, create a new Flask application and define a route for your homepage:

        
            from flask import Flask

            app = Flask(__name__)

            @app.route('/')
            def home():
                return 'Hello, World! This is your homepage.'
        
    

Run your Flask application by running the following command:

python app.py

Your Flask application should now be running on http://localhost:5000/.

Step 2: Creating Your Image Manipulation Routes

Now that your Flask application is set up, you can start creating your image manipulation routes. For example, you can create a route to upload an image and apply a filter to it:

        
            @app.route('/upload', methods=['POST'])
            def upload_image():
                # Code to upload image and apply filter
                return 'Image uploaded and filtered successfully.'
        
    

Feel free to experiment and add more routes for different image manipulation features.

Step 3: Styling Your Website

Don’t forget to style your website using HTML and CSS to make it look visually appealing. You can also use JavaScript to add interactivity to your image manipulation features.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created your own image manipulation website using Flask and Python. You can now expand on this project by adding more features and functionalities.
