It is reducing the colors. Which I don't want, that'swhy trying to find something which reduces the size but will not change the quality.
Original Size 31MB
After Size 4.55MB
Sorry, I can't upload the images here also because Github also not allowing me to upload file size above 10MB.

Alternatively, I want a code that should reduce the size 'just below 10MB'.

Thanks for the code but ANTIALIAS is deprecated for 3.11 version of python. I have used Image.LANCZOS instead but quality is compromised. Can you please help?

Yes Bro, same problem. What to do? I too don't understand.
