     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

updated:

import Image,glob,os

files = glob.glob("small/*.gif") 

for imageFile in files:
    filepath,filename = os.path.split(imageFile)
    filterame,exts = os.path.splitext(filename)
    print "Processing: " + imageFile,filterame
    im = Image.open(imageFile)
    im.save( 'small_/'+filterame+'.png','PNG')

Try copy and pasting your code in here back into your editor, it works perfectly fine for me. You seem to have some non-printable characters in there or something similar.

Also, have a look at the PIL documentation, save needs a filename or fileobject, not a folder.

This is a python code that converts all.gif files in a folder /gifs/ into .gif.png files:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont #dynamic import


import os
rootdir = 'gifs'
extensions = ('.gif')

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        ext = os.path.splitext(file)[-1].lower()
        if ext in extensions:
            print (os.path.join(subdir, file))

            gif=os.path.join(subdir, file)
            img = Image.open(gif)
            img.save(gif+".png",'png', optimize=True, quality=100)

One thing you should fix is adding a filename to save: im.save("/small_/" + filename_you_make_up + ".png", "png"). That shouldn't be responsible for the syntax error though, but it will fix your next problem.

This is a python code that converts a file named a.gif in folder /gifs/ into a.gif.png:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont #dynamic import

gif='gifs/a.gif'
img = Image.open(gif)
img.save(gif+".png",'png', optimize=True, quality=100)
