Image file formats
==================
The Python Imaging Library supports a wide variety of raster file formats.
Nearly 30 different file formats can be identified and read by the library.
Write support is less extensive, but most common interchange and presentation
formats are supported.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` function identifies files from their
contents, not their names, but the :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method
looks at the name to determine which format to use, unless the format is given
explicitly.
Fully supported formats
-----------------------
BMP
^^^
PIL reads and writes Windows and OS/2 BMP files containing ``1``, ``L``, ``P``,
or ``RGB`` data. 16-colour images are read as ``P`` images. Run-length encoding
is not supported.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**compression**
Set to ``bmp_rle`` if the file is run-length encoded.
EPS
^^^
PIL identifies EPS files containing image data, and can read files that contain
embedded raster images (ImageData descriptors). If Ghostscript is available,
other EPS files can be read as well. The EPS driver can also write EPS images.
GIF
^^^
PIL reads GIF87a and GIF89a versions of the GIF file format. The library writes
run-length encoded GIF87a files. Note that GIF files are always read as
grayscale (``L``) or palette mode (``P``) images.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**background**
Default background color (a palette color index).
**duration**
Time between frames in an animation (in milliseconds).
**transparency**
Transparency color index. This key is omitted if the image is not
transparent.
**version**
Version (either ``GIF87a`` or ``GIF89a``).
Reading sequences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GIF loader supports the :py:meth:`~file.seek` and :py:meth:`~file.tell`
methods. You can seek to the next frame (``im.seek(im.tell() + 1``), or rewind
the file by seeking to the first frame. Random access is not supported.
Reading local images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GIF loader creates an image memory the same size as the GIF file’s *logical
screen size*, and pastes the actual pixel data (the *local image*) into this
image. If you only want the actual pixel rectangle, you can manipulate the
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` and :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.tile`
attributes before loading the file::
im = Image.open(...)
if im.tile[0][0] == "gif":
# only read the first "local image" from this GIF file
tag, (x0, y0, x1, y1), offset, extra = im.tile[0]
im.size = (x1 - x0, y1 - y0)
im.tile = [(tag, (0, 0) + im.size, offset, extra)]
IM
^^
IM is a format used by LabEye and other applications based on the IFUNC image
processing library. The library reads and writes most uncompressed interchange
versions of this format.
IM is the only format that can store all internal PIL formats.
JPEG
^^^^
PIL reads JPEG, JFIF, and Adobe JPEG files containing ``L``, ``RGB``, or
``CMYK`` data. It writes standard and progressive JFIF files.
Using the :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.draft` method, you can speed things up by
converting ``RGB`` images to ``L``, and resize images to 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 of
their original size while loading them. The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.draft`
method also configures the JPEG decoder to trade some quality for speed.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**jfif**
JFIF application marker found. If the file is not a JFIF file, this key is
not present.
**adobe**
Adobe application marker found. If the file is not an Adobe JPEG file, this
key is not present.
**progression**
Indicates that this is a progressive JPEG file.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method supports the following options:
**quality**
The image quality, on a scale from 1 (worst) to 95 (best). The default is
75. Values above 95 should be avoided; 100 disables portions of the JPEG
compression algorithm, and results in large files with hardly any gain in =
image quality.
**optimize**
If present, indicates that the encoder should make an extra pass over the
image in order to select optimal encoder settings.
**progressive**
If present, indicates that this image should be stored as a progressive
JPEG file.
.. note::
To enable JPEG support, you need to build and install the IJG JPEG library
before building the Python Imaging Library. See the distribution README for
details.
MSP
^^^
PIL identifies and reads MSP files from Windows 1 and 2. The library writes
uncompressed (Windows 1) versions of this format.
PCX
^^^
PIL reads and writes PCX files containing ``1``, ``L``, ``P``, or ``RGB`` data.
PNG
^^^
PIL identifies, reads, and writes PNG files containing ``1``, ``L``, ``P``,
``RGB``, or ``RGBA`` data. Interlaced files are currently not supported.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties, when appropriate:
**gamma**
Gamma, given as a floating point number.
**transparency**
Transparency color index. This key is omitted if the image is not a
transparent palette image.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method supports the following options:
**optimize**
If present, instructs the PNG writer to make the output file as small as
possible. This includes extra processing in order to find optimal encoder
settings.
**transparency**
For ``P`` and ``L`` images, this option controls what color image to mark as
transparent.
**bits (experimental)**
For ``P`` images, this option controls how many bits to store. If omitted,
the PNG writer uses 8 bits (256 colors).
**dictionary (experimental)**
Set the ZLIB encoder dictionary.
.. note::
To enable PNG support, you need to build and install the ZLIB compression
library before building the Python Imaging Library. See the distribution
README for details.
PPM
^^^
PIL reads and writes PBM, PGM and PPM files containing ``1``, ``L`` or ``RGB``
data.
SPIDER
^^^^^^
PIL reads and writes SPIDER image files of 32-bit floating point data
("F;32F").
PIL also reads SPIDER stack files containing sequences of SPIDER images. The
:py:meth:`~file.seek` and :py:meth:`~file.tell` methods are supported, and
random access is allowed.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following attributes:
**format**
Set to ``SPIDER``
**istack**
Set to 1 if the file is an image stack, else 0.
**nimages**
Set to the number of images in the stack.
A convenience method, :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.convert2byte`, is provided for
converting floating point data to byte data (mode ``L``)::
im = Image.open('image001.spi').convert2byte()
Writing files in SPIDER format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The extension of SPIDER files may be any 3 alphanumeric characters. Therefore
the output format must be specified explicitly::
im.save('newimage.spi', format='SPIDER')
For more information about the SPIDER image processing package, see the
`SPIDER home page`_ at `Wadsworth Center`_.
.. _SPIDER home page: http://www.wadsworth.org/spider_doc/spider/docs/master.html

TIFF
^^^^
PIL reads and writes TIFF files. It can read both striped and tiled images,
pixel and plane interleaved multi-band images, and either uncompressed, or
Packbits, LZW, or JPEG compressed images. In the current version, PIL always
writes uncompressed TIFF files.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**compression**
Compression mode.
**dpi**
Image resolution as an (xdpi, ydpi) tuple, where applicable. You can use
the :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.tag` attribute to get more detailed
information about the image resolution.
.. versionadded:: 1.1.5
In addition, the :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.tag` attribute contains a
dictionary of decoded TIFF fields. Values are stored as either strings or
tuples. Note that only short, long and ASCII tags are correctly unpacked by
this release.
XBM
^^^
PIL reads and writes X bitmap files (mode ``1``).
XV Thumbnails
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PIL can read XV thumbnail files.
Read-only formats
-----------------
CUR
^^^
CUR is used to store cursors on Windows. The CUR decoder reads the largest
available cursor. Animated cursors are not supported.
DCX
^^^
DCX is a container file format for PCX files, defined by Intel. The DCX format
is commonly used in fax applications. The DCX decoder can read files containing
``1``, ``L``, ``P``, or ``RGB`` data.
When the file is opened, only the first image is read. You can use
:py:meth:`~file.seek` or :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageSequence` to read other images.
FLI, FLC
^^^^^^^^
PIL reads Autodesk FLI and FLC animations.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**duration**
The delay (in milliseconds) between each frame.
FPX
^^^
PIL reads Kodak FlashPix files. In the current version, only the highest
resolution image is read from the file, and the viewing transform is not taken
into account.
.. note::
To enable full FlashPix support, you need to build and install the IJG JPEG
library before building the Python Imaging Library. See the distribution
README for details.
GBR
^^^
The GBR decoder reads GIMP brush files.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**description**
The brush name.
GD
^^
PIL reads uncompressed GD files. Note that this file format cannot be
automatically identified, so you must use :py:func:`PIL.GdImageFile.open` to
read such a file.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**transparency**
Transparency color index. This key is omitted if the image is not
transparent.
ICO
^^^
ICO is used to store icons on Windows. The largest available icon is read.
IMT
^^^
PIL reads Image Tools images containing ``L`` data.
IPTC/NAA
^^^^^^^^
PIL provides limited read support for IPTC/NAA newsphoto files.
MCIDAS
^^^^^^
PIL identifies and reads 8-bit McIdas area files.
MIC (read only)
PIL identifies and reads Microsoft Image Composer (MIC) files. When opened, the
first sprite in the file is loaded. You can use :py:meth:`~file.seek` and
:py:meth:`~file.tell` to read other sprites from the file.
PCD
^^^
PIL reads PhotoCD files containing ``RGB`` data. By default, the 768x512
resolution is read. You can use the :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.draft` method to
read the lower resolution versions instead, thus effectively resizing the image
to 384x256 or 192x128. Higher resolutions cannot be read by the Python Imaging
Library.
PSD
^^^
PIL identifies and reads PSD files written by Adobe Photoshop 2.5 and 3.0.
SGI
^^^
PIL reads uncompressed ``L`` and ``RGB`` files.
TGA
^^^
PIL reads 24- and 32-bit uncompressed and run-length encoded TGA files.
WAL
^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1.4
PIL reads Quake2 WAL texture files.
Note that this file format cannot be automatically identified, so you must use
the open function in the :py:mod:`~PIL.WalImageFile` module to read files in
this format.
By default, a Quake2 standard palette is attached to the texture. To override
the palette, use the putpalette method.
XPM
^^^
PIL reads X pixmap files (mode ``P``) with 256 colors or less.
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
**transparency**
Transparency color index. This key is omitted if the image is not
transparent.
Write-only formats
------------------
PALM
^^^^
PIL provides write-only support for PALM pixmap files.
The format code is ``Palm``, the extension is ``.palm``.
PDF
^^^
PIL can write PDF (Acrobat) images. Such images are written as binary PDF 1.1
files, using either JPEG or HEX encoding depending on the image mode (and
whether JPEG support is available or not).
PIXAR (read only)
PIL provides limited support for PIXAR raster files. The library can identify
and read “dumped” RGB files.
The format code is ``PIXAR``.
Identify-only formats
---------------------
BUFR
^^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1.3
PIL provides a stub driver for BUFR files.
To add read or write support to your application, use
:py:func:`PIL.BufrStubImagePlugin.register_handler`.
FITS
^^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1.5
PIL provides a stub driver for FITS files.
To add read or write support to your application, use
:py:func:`PIL.FitsStubImagePlugin.register_handler`.
GRIB
^^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1.5
PIL provides a stub driver for GRIB files.
The driver requires the file to start with a GRIB header. If you have files
with embedded GRIB data, or files with multiple GRIB fields, your application
has to seek to the header before passing the file handle to PIL.
To add read or write support to your application, use
:py:func:`PIL.GribStubImagePlugin.register_handler`.
HDF5
^^^^
.. versionadded:: 1.1.5
PIL provides a stub driver for HDF5 files.
To add read or write support to your application, use
:py:func:`PIL.Hdf5StubImagePlugin.register_handler`.
MPEG
^^^^
PIL identifies MPEG files.
WMF
^^^
PIL can identify placable WMF files.
In PIL 1.1.4 and earlier, the WMF driver provides some limited rendering
support, but not enough to be useful for any real application.
In PIL 1.1.5 and later, the WMF driver is a stub driver. To add WMF read or
write support to your application, use
:py:func:`PIL.WmfImagePlugin.register_handler` to register a WMF handler.
::
from PIL import Image
from PIL import WmfImagePlugin
class WmfHandler:
def open(self, im):
...
def load(self, im):
...
return image
def save(self, im, fp, filename):
...
wmf_handler = WmfHandler()
WmfImagePlugin.register_handler(wmf_handler)
im = Image.open("sample.wmf")
