The “crop” and “thumbnail” methods in PIL serve different purposes. The “crop” method is used to extract a rectangular portion of an image, specified by a tuple defining the left, upper, right, and lower pixel coordinates. It doesn’t alter the original image’s resolution or aspect ratio.
On the other hand, the “thumbnail” method resizes an image while maintaining its aspect ratio. It modifies the image to fit within a given size, defined by a tuple specifying width and height. If the current image size is smaller than the provided dimensions, it remains unaltered. Unlike “crop”, “thumbnail” alters the image in-place.
