Create Shipment Programmatically in Magento 2

The following are the steps used to create a shipment after placing an order, it will auto-generate shipment:

// Load the order

$order = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Sales\Model\Order')

    ->loadByAttribute('increment_id', '000000001');

OR

$order = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Sales\Model\Order')

    ->load('1');

// Check if order can be shipped or has already shipped

if (! $order->canShip()) {

    throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException(

                    __('You can\'t create an shipment.')

                );

}

// Initialize the order shipment object

$convertOrder = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Sales\Model\Convert\Order');

$shipment = $convertOrder->toShipment($order);

// Loop through order items

foreach ($order->getAllItems() AS $orderItem) {

    // Check if order item has qty to ship or is virtual

    if (! $orderItem->getQtyToShip() || $orderItem->getIsVirtual()) {

        continue;

    }

 $qtyShipped = $orderItem->getQtyToShip();

// Create shipment item with qty

    $shipmentItem = $convertOrder->itemToShipmentItem($orderItem)->setQty($qtyShipped);

// Add shipment item to shipment

    $shipment->addItem($shipmentItem);

}

// Register shipment

$shipment->register();

$shipment->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);

try {

    // Save created shipment and order

    $shipment->save();

    $shipment->getOrder()->save();

 // Send email

    $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Shipping\Model\ShipmentNotifier')

        ->notify($shipment);

 $shipment->save();

} catch (\Exception $e) {

    throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException(

                    __($e->getMessage())

                );

}
