Hi all,

I built a small Python utility that might be useful to others who struggle with collecting student photos for Gibbon, it’s called **Gibbon Image Zipper**.

What it does:

- Scans a folder for `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, and `.png` files

- Checks each image is within 360×480px with the right portrait aspect ratio

- Auto-resizes non-compliant images to 240×320px

- Bundles everything into a single ZIP file ready for import

You just point it at a folder of photos, it checks each one, resizes anything that doesn’t fit the required dimensions, and packs everything into a ZIP ready to upload. That’s it.

Hope it saves someone the headache!

Hi @sabercoder

Thanks for sharing this! Photo management can be a hassle, so a tool that handles resizing and packaging is really handy. Appreciate you contributing to the Gibbon community! Thanks.
