Convert RGBA to RGB in PNGs #


This script automates the process of converting .png images from RGBA to RGB format in a specified directory, utilizing multiprocessing to enhance efficiency.

    Convert an RGBA image to RGB format.

    This function opens an image from a given path and checks if it's in RGBA mode.

    Any errors encountered during processing are caught and printed.

    - image_path (str): The file path of the image to be converted.
