# PyBites YouTube Thumbnail creator

Simple script that uses [Pillow](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to generate thumbnail images for [our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBn-uKDGsRBfcB0lQeOB_gA).

## Setup

Make a virtual environment, enable it and install `Pillow`:

```

python3.9 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

## Usage

To start simple the script relies on short titles it splits by a pipe character, for example:

```

python thumbs.py "PyBites|Marketing|Training"

```

... creates this image in the `images/` output folder:

![example output image](images/example.png)
