Merging Two Images in Python Using PIL Library

So, you have two pictures and you want them to become the best of friends? Or maybe you want to do a meme of a cat riding on a pizza through space. Maybe you’re a serious artist-no judgment here-and you want to blend two beautiful sunset photos into a single masterpiece. Whatever the reason, you’re in the right place. Today we are going to combine images using the mightiest of them all-Python’s library PIL. Hold onto your hats, folks. It’s going to be a wild ride.
