Image file formats
|
||
==================
|
||
|
||
The Python Imaging Library supports a wide variety of raster file formats.
|
||
Over 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.
|
||
|
||
If Ghostscript is available, you can call the :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.load`
|
||
method with the following parameter to affect how Ghostscript renders the EPS
|
||
|
||
**scale**
|
||
Affects the scale of the resultant rasterized image. If the EPS suggests
|
||
that the image be rendered at 100px x 100px, setting this parameter to
|
||
2 will make the Ghostscript render a 200px x 200px image instead. The
|
||
relative position of the bounding box is maintained::
|
||
|
||
im = Image.open(...)
|
||
im.size #(100,100)
|
||
im.load(scale=2)
|
||
im.size #(200,200)
|
||
|
||
GIF
|
||
^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL reads GIF87a and GIF89a versions of the GIF file format. The library writes
|
||
run-length encoded files in GIF87a by default, unless GIF89a features
|
||
are used or GIF89a is already in use.
|
||
|
||
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``).
|
||
|
||
**duration**
|
||
May not be present. The time to display each frame of the GIF, in
|
||
milliseconds.
|
||
|
||
**loop**
|
||
May not be present. The number of times the GIF should loop.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
``im.seek()`` raises an ``EOFError`` if you try to seek after the last frame.
|
||
|
||
Saving sequences
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
When calling :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save`, if a multiframe image is used,
|
||
by default only the first frame will be saved. To save all frames, the
|
||
``save_all`` parameter must be present and set to ``True``.
|
||
|
||
If present, the ``loop`` parameter can be used to set the number of times
|
||
the GIF should loop, and the ``duration`` parameter can set the number of
|
||
milliseconds between each frame.
|
||
|
||
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)]
|
||
|
||
ICNS
|
||
^^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL reads and (OS X only) writes Mac OS X ``.icns`` files. By default, the
|
||
largest available icon is read, though you can override this by setting the
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` property before calling
|
||
:py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.load`. The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method
|
||
sets the following :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` property:
|
||
|
||
**sizes**
|
||
A list of supported sizes found in this icon file; these are a
|
||
3-tuple, ``(width, height, scale)``, where ``scale`` is 2 for a retina
|
||
icon and 1 for a standard icon. You *are* permitted to use this 3-tuple
|
||
format for the :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` property if you set it
|
||
before calling :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.load`; after loading, the size
|
||
will be reset to a 2-tuple containing pixel dimensions (so, e.g. if you
|
||
ask for ``(512, 512, 2)``, the final value of
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` will be ``(1024, 1024)``).
|
||
|
||
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.open` method may set the following
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties if available:
|
||
|
||
**jfif**
|
||
JFIF application marker found. If the file is not a JFIF file, this key is
|
||
not present.
|
||
|
||
**jfif_version**
|
||
A tuple representing the jfif version, (major version, minor version).
|
||
|
||
**jfif_density**
|
||
A tuple representing the pixel density of the image, in units specified
|
||
by jfif_unit.
|
||
|
||
**jfif_unit**
|
||
Units for the jfif_density:
|
||
|
||
* 0 - No Units
|
||
* 1 - Pixels per Inch
|
||
* 2 - Pixels per Centimeter
|
||
|
||
**dpi**
|
||
A tuple representing the reported pixel density in pixels per inch, if
|
||
the file is a jfif file and the units are in inches.
|
||
|
||
**adobe**
|
||
Adobe application marker found. If the file is not an Adobe JPEG file, this
|
||
key is not present.
|
||
|
||
**adobe_transform**
|
||
Vendor Specific Tag.
|
||
|
||
**progression**
|
||
Indicates that this is a progressive JPEG file.
|
||
|
||
**icc-profile**
|
||
The ICC color profile for the image.
|
||
|
||
**exif**
|
||
Raw EXIF data from the image.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
**dpi**
|
||
A tuple of integers representing the pixel density, ``(x,y)``.
|
||
|
||
**icc-profile**
|
||
If present, the image is stored with the provided ICC profile. If
|
||
this parameter is not provided, the image will be saved with no
|
||
profile attached. To preserve the existing profile::
|
||
|
||
im.save(filename, 'jpeg', icc_profile=im.info.get('icc_profile'))
|
||
|
||
**exif**
|
||
If present, the image will be stored with the provided raw EXIF data.
|
||
|
||
**subsampling**
|
||
If present, sets the subsampling for the encoder.
|
||
|
||
* ``keep``: Only valid for JPEG files, will retain the original image setting.
|
||
* ``4:4:4``, ``4:2:2``, ``4:1:1``: Specific sampling values
|
||
* ``-1``: equivalent to ``keep``
|
||
* ``0``: equivalent to ``4:4:4``
|
||
* ``1``: equivalent to ``4:2:2``
|
||
* ``2``: equivalent to ``4:1:1``
|
||
|
||
**qtables**
|
||
If present, sets the qtables for the encoder. This is listed as an
|
||
advanced option for wizards in the JPEG documentation. Use with
|
||
caution. ``qtables`` can be one of several types of values:
|
||
|
||
* a string, naming a preset, e.g. ``keep``, ``web_low``, or ``web_high``
|
||
* a list, tuple, or dictionary (with integer keys =
|
||
range(len(keys))) of lists of 64 integers. There must be
|
||
between 2 and 4 tables.
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 2.5.0
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. 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.
|
||
|
||
JPEG 2000
|
||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 2.4.0
|
||
|
||
PIL reads and writes JPEG 2000 files containing ``L``, ``LA``, ``RGB`` or
|
||
``RGBA`` data. It can also read files containing ``YCbCr`` data, which it
|
||
converts on read into ``RGB`` or ``RGBA`` depending on whether or not there is
|
||
an alpha channel. PIL supports JPEG 2000 raw codestreams (``.j2k`` files), as
|
||
well as boxed JPEG 2000 files (``.j2p`` or ``.jpx`` files). PIL does *not*
|
||
support files whose components have different sampling frequencies.
|
||
|
||
When loading, if you set the ``mode`` on the image prior to the
|
||
:py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.load` method being invoked, you can ask PIL to
|
||
convert the image to either ``RGB`` or ``RGBA`` rather than choosing for
|
||
itself. It is also possible to set ``reduce`` to the number of resolutions to
|
||
discard (each one reduces the size of the resulting image by a factor of 2),
|
||
and ``layers`` to specify the number of quality layers to load.
|
||
|
||
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method supports the following options:
|
||
|
||
**offset**
|
||
The image offset, as a tuple of integers, e.g. (16, 16)
|
||
|
||
**tile_offset**
|
||
The tile offset, again as a 2-tuple of integers.
|
||
|
||
**tile_size**
|
||
The tile size as a 2-tuple. If not specified, or if set to None, the
|
||
image will be saved without tiling.
|
||
|
||
**quality_mode**
|
||
Either `"rates"` or `"dB"` depending on the units you want to use to
|
||
specify image quality.
|
||
|
||
**quality_layers**
|
||
A sequence of numbers, each of which represents either an approximate size
|
||
reduction (if quality mode is `"rates"`) or a signal to noise ratio value
|
||
in decibels. If not specified, defaults to a single layer of full quality.
|
||
|
||
**num_resolutions**
|
||
The number of different image resolutions to be stored (which corresponds
|
||
to the number of Discrete Wavelet Transform decompositions plus one).
|
||
|
||
**codeblock_size**
|
||
The code-block size as a 2-tuple. Minimum size is 4 x 4, maximum is 1024 x
|
||
1024, with the additional restriction that no code-block may have more
|
||
than 4096 coefficients (i.e. the product of the two numbers must be no
|
||
greater than 4096).
|
||
|
||
**precinct_size**
|
||
The precinct size as a 2-tuple. Must be a power of two along both axes,
|
||
and must be greater than the code-block size.
|
||
|
||
**irreversible**
|
||
If ``True``, use the lossy Irreversible Color Transformation
|
||
followed by DWT 9-7. Defaults to ``False``, which means to use the
|
||
Reversible Color Transformation with DWT 5-3.
|
||
|
||
**progression**
|
||
Controls the progression order; must be one of ``"LRCP"``, ``"RLCP"``,
|
||
``"RPCL"``, ``"PCRL"``, ``"CPRL"``. The letters stand for Component,
|
||
Position, Resolution and Layer respectively and control the order of
|
||
encoding, the idea being that e.g. an image encoded using LRCP mode can
|
||
have its quality layers decoded as they arrive at the decoder, while one
|
||
encoded using RLCP mode will have increasing resolutions decoded as they
|
||
arrive, and so on.
|
||
|
||
**cinema_mode**
|
||
Set the encoder to produce output compliant with the digital cinema
|
||
specifications. The options here are ``"no"`` (the default),
|
||
``"cinema2k-24"`` for 24fps 2K, ``"cinema2k-48"`` for 48fps 2K, and
|
||
``"cinema4k-24"`` for 24fps 4K. Note that for compliant 2K files,
|
||
*at least one* of your image dimensions must match 2048 x 1080, while
|
||
for compliant 4K files, *at least one* of the dimensions must match
|
||
4096 x 2160.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
To enable JPEG 2000 support, you need to build and install the OpenJPEG
|
||
library, version 2.0.0 or higher, before building the Python Imaging
|
||
Library.
|
||
|
||
Windows users can install the OpenJPEG binaries available on the
|
||
OpenJPEG website, but must add them to their PATH in order to use PIL (if
|
||
you fail to do this, you will get errors about not being able to load the
|
||
``_imaging`` DLL).
|
||
|
||
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 supported as of v1.1.7.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
``Open`` also sets ``Image.text`` to a list of the values of the
|
||
``tEXt``, ``zTXt``, and ``iTXt`` chunks of the PNG image. Individual
|
||
compressed chunks are limited to a decompressed size of
|
||
``PngImagePlugin.MAX_TEXT_CHUNK``, by default 1MB, to prevent
|
||
decompression bombs. Additionally, the total size of all of the text
|
||
chunks is limited to ``PngImagePlugin.MAX_TEXT_MEMORY``, defaulting to
|
||
64MB.
|
||
|
||
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``, ``L``, and ``RGB`` images, this option controls what
|
||
color image to mark as transparent.
|
||
|
||
**dpi**
|
||
A tuple of two numbers corresponding to the desired dpi in each direction.
|
||
|
||
**pnginfo**
|
||
A :py:class:`PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngInfo` instance containing text tags.
|
||
|
||
**compress_level**
|
||
ZLIB compression level, a number between 0 and 9: 1 gives best speed,
|
||
9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at all. Default is 6.
|
||
When ``optimize`` option is True ``compress_level`` has no effect
|
||
(it is set to 9 regardless of a value passed).
|
||
|
||
**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 homepage`_ at `Wadsworth Center`_.

|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
If you have libtiff and its headers installed, PIL can read and write many more
|
||
kinds of compressed TIFF files. If not, PIL will always write uncompressed
|
||
files.
|
||
|
||
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.open` method sets the following
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.info` properties:
|
||
|
||
**compression**
|
||
Compression mode.
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
|
||
|
||
**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
|
||
|
||
**resolution**
|
||
Image resolution as an ``(xres, yres)`` tuple, where applicable. This is a
|
||
measurement in whichever unit is specified by the file.
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 1.1.5
|
||
|
||
|
||
The :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.tag_v2` attribute contains a dictionary of
|
||
TIFF metadata. The keys are numerical indexes from `~PIL.TiffTags.TAGS_V2`.
|
||
Values are strings or numbers for single items, multiple values are returned
|
||
in a tuple of values. Rational numbers are returned as a single value.
|

|
||
For compatibility with legacy code, the
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.tag` attribute contains a dictionary of
|
||
decoded TIFF fields as returned prior to version 3.0.0. Values are
|
||
returned as either strings or tuples of numeric values. Rational
|
||
numbers are returned as a tuple of ``(numerator, denominator)``.

Saving Tiff Images
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method can take the following keyword arguments:
|
||
|
||
**tiffinfo**
|
||
A :py:class:`~PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2` object or dict
|
||
object containing tiff tags and values. The TIFF field type is
|
||
autodetected for Numeric and string values, any other types
|
||
require using an :py:class:`~PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2`
|
||
object and setting the type in
|
||
:py:attr:`~PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2.tagtype` with
|
||
the appropriate numerical value from
|
||
``TiffTags.TYPES``.
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 2.3.0
|
||
|
||
For compatibility with legacy code, a
|
||
`~PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v1` object may be passed
|
||
in this field. However, this is deprecated.
|
||
|
||
..versionadded:: 3.0.0
|
||
|
||
**compression**
|
||
A string containing the desired compression method for the
|
||
file. (valid only with libtiff installed) Valid compression
|
||
methods are: ``[None, "tiff_ccitt", "group3", "group4",
|
||
"tiff_jpeg", "tiff_adobe_deflate", "tiff_thunderscan",
|
||
"tiff_deflate", "tiff_sgilog", "tiff_sgilog24", "tiff_raw_16"]``
|
||
|
||
These arguments to set the tiff header fields are an alternative to using the general tags available through tiffinfo.

|
||
WebP
|
||
^^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL reads and writes WebP files. The specifics of PIL's capabilities with this
|
||
format are currently undocumented.
|
||
|
||
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method supports the following options:
|
||
|
||
**lossless**
|
||
If present, instructs the WEBP writer to use lossless
|
||
compression.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Integer, 1-100, Defaults to 80. Sets the quality level for
|
||
lossy compression.
|
||
|
||
**icc_procfile**
|
||
The ICC Profile to include in the saved file. Only supported if
|
||
the system webp library was built with webpmux support.
|
||
|
||

PIL reads and writes X bitmap files (mode ``1``).
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
The :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save` method supports the following options:
|
||
|
||
**sizes**
|
||
A list of sizes including in this ico file; these are a 2-tuple,
|
||
``(width, height)``; Default to ``[(16, 16), (24, 24), (32, 32), (48, 48),
|
||
(64, 64), (128, 128), (255, 255)]``. Any size is bigger then the original
|
||
size or 255 will be ignored.
|
||
|
||
IMT
|
||
^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL reads Image Tools images containing ``L`` data.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
PIL provides limited read support for IPTC/NAA newsphoto files.
|
||
|
||
MCIDAS
|
||
^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL identifies and reads 8-bit McIdas area files.
|
||
|
||
MIC
|
||
^^^
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
MPO
|
||
^^^
|
||
|
||
Pillow identifies and reads Multi Picture Object (MPO) files, loading the primary
|
||
image when first opened. The :py:meth:`~file.seek` and :py:meth:`~file.tell`
|
||
methods may be used to read other pictures from the file. The pictures are
|
||
zero-indexed and random access is supported.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
PIXAR
|
||
^^^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL provides limited support for PIXAR raster files. The library can identify
|
||
and read “dumped” RGB 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).
|
||
|
||
When calling :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.save`, if a multiframe image is used,
|
||
by default, only the first image will be saved. To save all frames, each frame
|
||
to a separate page of the PDF, the ``save_all`` parameter must be present and
|
||
set to ``True``.
|
||
|
||
XV Thumbnails
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
PIL can read XV thumbnail files.
|
||
|
||
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")
|
