How do I create my simple post thumbnails

I have created a python script to create thumbnail for me... Here I'm sharing the source code...
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
def generate_thumbnail_with_text(width, height, background_color, text, text_color, font_path, output_file):
# Create a new image with the specified dimensions and background color
image = Image.new('RGB', (width, height), background_color)
# Initialize the drawing context
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
# Load a font (you can customize the font size and style)
font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, size=73)
# Calculate text size and position
# text_width, text_height = 10.10, 10.23
text_width = width * 0.8
text_height = height * 0.8
x = (width - text_width) / 2
y = (height - text_height) / 2
# Draw the text on the image
draw.text((x, y), text, fill=text_color, font=font)
# Save the image to the specified output file
image.save(output_file)
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Thumbnail dimensions
width = 1600
height = 840
# Background color (RGB tuple)
background_color = (238, 255, 204, 1) # Light Green
# Text to be added
text = "Create Simple Thumbnail \nfor your Posts-with Python!"
# Text color (RGB tuple)
# text_color = (90, 80, 80, 1) # Gray
text_color = (40, 98, 252, 1) # Blue
# Font file path (you need to specify the path to a TrueType font file)
font_path = "Poppins/Poppins-Bold.ttf"
# Output file path
output_file = "thumbnail.png"
# Generate the thumbnail with text
generate_thumbnail_with_text(width, height, background_color, text, text_color, font_path, output_file)
print(f"Thumbnail with text generated: {output_file}")
