Deprecations and removals
=========================
This page lists Pillow features that are deprecated, or have been removed in
past major releases, and gives the alternatives to use instead.
Deprecated features
-------------------
Below are features which are considered deprecated. Where appropriate,
a ``DeprecationWarning`` is issued.
FreeType 2.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 8.1.0
Support for FreeType 2.7 is deprecated and will be removed in Pillow 9.0.0 (2022-01-02),
when FreeType 2.8 will be the minimum supported.
We recommend upgrading to at least FreeType `2.10.4`_, which fixed a severe
vulnerability introduced in FreeType 2.6 (:cve:`CVE-2020-15999`).
.. _2.10.4: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.10.4/
Image.show command parameter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 7.2.0
The ``command`` parameter will be removed in Pillow 9.0.0 (2022-01-02).
Use a subclass of :py:class:`.ImageShow.Viewer` instead.
Image._showxv
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 7.2.0
``Image._showxv`` will be removed in Pillow 9.0.0 (2022-01-02).
Use :py:meth:`.Image.Image.show` instead. If custom behaviour is required, use
:py:func:`.ImageShow.register` to add a custom :py:class:`.ImageShow.Viewer` class.
ImageFile.raise_ioerror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 7.2.0
``IOError`` was merged into ``OSError`` in Python 3.3.
So, ``ImageFile.raise_ioerror`` will be removed in Pillow 9.0.0 (2022-01-02).
Use ``ImageFile.raise_oserror`` instead.
PILLOW_VERSION constant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 5.2.0
``PILLOW_VERSION`` will be removed in Pillow 9.0.0 (2022-01-02).
Use ``__version__`` instead.
It was initially removed in Pillow 7.0.0, but brought back in 7.1.0 to give projects
more time to upgrade.
Tk/Tcl 8.4
~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 8.2.0
Support for Tk/Tcl 8.4 is deprecated and will be removed in Pillow 10.0.0 (2023-01-02),
when Tk/Tcl 8.5 will be the minimum supported.
Categories
~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 8.2.0
``im.category`` is deprecated and will be removed in Pillow 10.0.0 (2023-01-02),
along with the related ``Image.NORMAL``, ``Image.SEQUENCE`` and
``Image.CONTAINER`` attributes.
To determine if an image has multiple frames or not,
``getattr(im, "is_animated", False)`` can be used instead.
JpegImagePlugin.convert_dict_qtables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 8.3.0
JPEG ``quantization`` is now automatically converted, but still returned as a
dictionary. The :py:attr:`~PIL.JpegImagePlugin.convert_dict_qtables` method no longer
performs any operations on the data given to it, has been deprecated and will be
removed in Pillow 10.0.0 (2023-01-02).
ImagePalette size parameter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 8.4.0
The ``size`` parameter will be removed in Pillow 10.0.0 (2023-01-02).
Before Pillow 8.3.0, ``ImagePalette`` required palette data of particular lengths by
default, and the size parameter could be used to override that. Pillow 8.3.0 removed
the default required length, also removing the need for the size parameter.
Removed features
----------------
Deprecated features are only removed in major releases after an appropriate
period of deprecation has passed.
im.offset
~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 1.1.2
.. versionremoved:: 8.0.0
``im.offset()`` has been removed, call :py:func:`.ImageChops.offset()` instead.
It was documented as deprecated in PIL 1.1.2,
raised a ``DeprecationWarning`` since 1.1.5,
an ``Exception`` since Pillow 3.0.0
and ``NotImplementedError`` since 3.3.0.
Image.fromstring, im.fromstring and im.tostring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 2.0.0
.. versionremoved:: 8.0.0
* ``Image.fromstring()`` has been removed, call :py:func:`.Image.frombytes()` instead.
* ``im.fromstring()`` has been removed, call :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.frombytes()` instead.
* ``im.tostring()`` has been removed, call :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.tobytes()` instead.
They issued a ``DeprecationWarning`` since 2.0.0,
an ``Exception`` since 3.0.0
and ``NotImplementedError`` since 3.3.0.
ImageCms.CmsProfile attributes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 3.2.0
.. versionremoved:: 8.0.0
Some attributes in :py:class:`PIL.ImageCms.CmsProfile` have been removed. From 6.0.0,
they issued a ``DeprecationWarning``:
======================== ===================================================
Removed Use instead
======================== ===================================================
``color_space`` Padded :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.xcolor_space`
``pcs`` Padded :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.connection_space`
``product_copyright`` Unicode :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.copyright`
``product_desc`` Unicode :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.profile_description`
``product_description`` Unicode :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.profile_description`
``product_manufacturer`` Unicode :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.manufacturer`
``product_model`` Unicode :py:attr:`~.CmsProfile.model`
======================== ===================================================
Python 2.7
~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 6.0.0
.. versionremoved:: 7.0.0
Python 2.7 reached end-of-life on 2020-01-01. Pillow 6.x was the last series to
support Python 2.
Image.__del__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 6.1.0
.. versionremoved:: 7.0.0
Implicitly closing the image's underlying file in ``Image.__del__`` has been removed.
Use a context manager or call ``Image.close()`` instead to close the file in a
deterministic way.
Previous method:
.. code-block:: python
im = Image.open("hopper.png")
im.save("out.jpg")
Use instead:
.. code-block:: python
with Image.open("hopper.png") as im:
im.save("out.jpg")
PIL.*ImagePlugin.__version__ attributes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 6.0.0
.. versionremoved:: 7.0.0
The version constants of individual plugins have been removed. Use ``PIL.__version__``
instead.
=============================== ================================= ==================================

=============================== ================================= ==================================
PyQt4 and PySide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 6.0.0
.. versionremoved:: 7.0.0
Qt 4 reached end-of-life on 2015-12-19. Its Python bindings are also EOL: PyQt4 since
2018-08-31 and PySide since 2015-10-14.
Support for PyQt4 and PySide has been removed from ``ImageQt``. Please upgrade to PyQt5
or PySide2.
Setting the size of TIFF images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 5.3.0
.. versionremoved:: 7.0.0
Setting the size of a TIFF image directly (eg. ``im.size = (256, 256)``) throws
an error. Use ``Image.resize`` instead.
VERSION constant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 5.2.0
.. versionremoved:: 6.0.0
``VERSION`` (the old PIL version, always 1.1.7) has been removed. Use
``__version__`` instead.
Undocumented ImageOps functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 4.3.0
.. versionremoved:: 6.0.0
Several undocumented functions in ``ImageOps`` have been removed. Use the equivalents
in ``ImageFilter`` instead:
========================== ============================
Removed Use instead
========================== ============================
``ImageOps.box_blur`` ``ImageFilter.BoxBlur``
``ImageOps.gaussian_blur`` ``ImageFilter.GaussianBlur``
``ImageOps.gblur`` ``ImageFilter.GaussianBlur``
``ImageOps.usm`` ``ImageFilter.UnsharpMask``
``ImageOps.unsharp_mask`` ``ImageFilter.UnsharpMask``
========================== ============================
PIL.OleFileIO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. deprecated:: 4.0.0
.. versionremoved:: 6.0.0
PIL.OleFileIO was removed as a vendored file in Pillow 4.0.0 (2017-01) in favour of
the upstream olefile Python package, and replaced with an ``ImportError`` in 5.0.0
(2018-01). The deprecated file has now been removed from Pillow. If needed, install from
PyPI (eg. ``python3 -m pip install olefile``).
