+title: Manipulate image pixels in Python
+layout: post
+excerpt: I had a black and white image but I wanted a black image with the white bits transparent.

+
+---
+
+The way I've implemented dark mode on this site is to mark some images with a class `invertable` that means they still look good inverted. And then in CSS I go ahead and invert them if you're in dark mode. For other images I just dim them a bit.
+
+
+<figure class="two-wide">
+<img src="/assets/blog/micropython/simulated_display.png" class="invertable">
+<img src="/assets/blog/micropython/simulated_display_transparent.png" class="invertable">
+<figcaption>Try switching back and forth between dark mode and light mode, the one on the right works, the one on the left gets and ugly black background.</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+However for some images like this black and white png it looks a bit weird when inverted because the background becomes hard black but my site's background is a dark grey. So I wanted to make the white pixels transparent instead.
+
+Anyway the point of this post is that I knew in terms of pixel values what I wanted to do but wasn't sure how to do this in an image editors. So here's the code for you and my future reference:
+
+```python
+import sys
+
+import numpy as np
+from PIL import Image
+
+if len(sys.argv) < 3:
+    print("Usage: python convert_to_transparent.py <input_image_path> <output_image_path>")
+    sys.exit(1)
+
+input_path, output_path = sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2]
+
+grey = np.array(Image.open(input_path).convert("L"))
+alpha_channel = 255 - grey
+
+rgba_array = np.zeros((grey.shape[0], grey.shape[1], 4), dtype=np.uint8)
+rgba_array[..., 0] = 0  # Red channel
+rgba_array[..., 1] = 0  # Green channel
+rgba_array[..., 2] = 0  # Blue channel
+rgba_array[..., 3] = alpha_channel  # Alpha channel
+
+# Create a new image for the output
+rgba_img = Image.fromarray(rgba_array, mode="RGBA")
+
+# Save the result
+rgba_img.save(output_path, "PNG")
+print(f"Image saved to {output_path}")
+```
