7.1.0 ----- Allow saving of zero quality JPEG images ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If no quality was specified when saving a JPEG, Pillow internally used a value of zero to indicate that the default quality should be used. However, this removed the ability to actually save a JPEG with zero quality. This has now been resolved. .. code-block:: python from PIL import Image im = Image.open("hopper.jpg") im.save("out.jpg", quality=0)
