Export Image files to Excel File - Use Cells as Pixels

Inspired by Matt Parker's YouTube video where he showed how image pixels can be expressed as Excel cells.

Description: This is a simple program that takes a user defined image file, optionally shrinks it, and then saves it in an Excel file at the same location of the original image's location.

Features:

• User supplied image (.jpg or .png files) is converted from RGB to HEX pixels.
  
• Individual cells of Excel sheet are treated as pixels of the image, and openpyxl.styles.PatternFill is used to color these cells according to the values of pixel colors.
  
• Optinally, user can resize (shrink or expand) the image before exporting it to excel file as well.
  
• Resulting Excel file is saved at the same location as original file.
  

Imports: Functions imports the following libraries. So ensure they are installed before using them.

from img2xl import img2xl

# Manual Inputs: Only the name of the image path
