+:py:mod:`features` Module
+==========================
+
+The :py:mod:`PIL.features` module can be used to detect which Pillow features are available on your system.
+
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.pilinfo
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.check
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.get_supported
+
+Modules
+-------
+
+Support for the following modules can be checked:
+
+* ``pil``: The Pillow core module, required for all functionality.
+* ``tkinter``: Tkinter support.
+* ``freetype2``: FreeType font support via :py:func:`PIL.ImageFont.truetype`.
+* ``littlecms2``: LittleCMS 2 support via :py:mod:`PIL.ImageCms`.
+* ``webp``: WebP image support.
+
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.check_module
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.get_supported_modules
+
+Codecs
+------
+
+These are only checked during Pillow compilation.
+If the required library was uninstalled from the system, the ``pil`` core module may fail to load instead.
+
+Support for the following codecs can be checked:
+
+* ``jpg``: (compile time) Libjpeg support, required for JPEG based image formats.
+* ``jpg_2000``: (compile time) OpenJPEG support, required for JPEG 2000 image formats.
+* ``zlib``: (compile time) Zlib support, required for zlib compressed formats, such as PNG.
+* ``libtiff``: (compile time) LibTIFF support, required for TIFF based image formats.
+
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.check_codec
+.. autofunction:: PIL.features.get_supported_codecs
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Some of these are only checked during Pillow compilation.
+If the required library was uninstalled from the system, the relevant module may fail to load instead.
+
+Support for the following features can be checked:
+
+* ``libjpeg_turbo``: (compile time) Whether Pillow was compiled against the libjpeg-turbo version of libjpeg.
+* ``transp_webp``: Support for transparency in WebP images.
+* ``webp_mux``: (compile time) Support for EXIF data in WebP images.
+* ``webp_anim``: (compile time) Support for animated WebP images.
+* ``raqm``: Raqm library, required for ``ImageFont.LAYOUT_RAQM`` in :py:func:`PIL.ImageFont.truetype`.
+* ``libimagequant``: (compile time) ImageQuant quantization support in :py:func:`PIL.Image.Image.quantize`.
+* ``xcb``: (compile time) Support for X11 in :py:func:`PIL.ImageGrab.grab` via the XCB library.
