oliframe

Oliframe is a command-line tool written in Rust to add simple colored frames (borders) around images. It is designed to efficiently batch process images with a consistent border style. Flexible options allow for customization of the border width, color, and corner radius.

This project was inspired by the style of posts by @officialmumbo on Instagram, but is not endorsed by or affiliated with him.

Installation

$ cargo install oliframe

Usage

$ oliframe --help

Usage: oliframe [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -v, --verbose  Verbose output
  -q, --quiet    Quiet output -- suppresses everything except errors
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

Input Options:
  -i, --input <FILE_OR_DIR>  One or more input file_collector or directories, if not specified, the current directory is used
  -R, --recursive            Recursively search for input file_collector in the specified director(y/ies)
  -x, --extension <XTN>      File extensions(s) to accept (must be exact match, i.e.: "jpg" != "jpeg" != "JPG")

Output Options:
      --dry-run               Dry run (don't create output file_collector)
  -o, --output <FILE/FOLDER>  Output destination. If skipped, each output file will be saved in the same directory as the input file
  -f, --flatten               Flatten the output directory structure when processing multiple input file_collector
  -p, --prefix <PREFIX>       Prefix to prepend to output file_collector
  -s, --suffix <SUFFIX>       Suffix to append to output file_collector
  -y, --overwrite             Overwrite existing files.  Defaults to no

Framing Options:
      --ar <RATIO>           Fix the final aspect ratio of the output image. Specify the ratio as a fraction (e.g.: "16:9") or a decimal (e.g.: "1.777")
  -c, --color <COLOR>        Color of the border/background.  Specify any valid CSS color [default: white]
  -r, --radius <RADIUS>      Add rounded corners to the image.
  -m, --margins <SIZE(S)>    Relative margins around the image, as a percentage of (width + height) / 2. Specify one to four values, separated by commas, in CSS order
  -P, --position <POSITION>  Relative position of the input image within the output image. Horizontal values: "left", "center", "right" Vertical values: "top", "center", "bottom"

Examples

The default behavior is to add a white border that's 5% of the image size to all images in the current directory. Oliframe will not overwrite existing files by default, so you must use the -y flag to allow overwriting.

$ oliframe -y

---

Rounded corners can be added by specifying a radius. Instead of editing in place, you can optionally specify an output directory with the -o flag.

$ oliframe --radius 20 -o framed_images

---

More complex borders can be created by specifying the color, final aspect ratio, and position of the image within the frame.

$ oliframe --color darkslategray --ar 1:1 --position bottom-left -m 10,50,10,10

Roadmap / Future Functionality

• Add option (-W, --watch) to watch for changes in a directory and automatically add borders to new images
