Python Imaging Library/File IO

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

File operations in PIL are very simple, and reflect normal Python methods.

importImageimg=Image.open(filepath)
fromPILimportImageimg=Image.open("path/to/image.ext")pixels=img.load()# Load the pixels of the image into a matrix

Displays a copy of the specified image in a window.

fromPILimportImageimg=Image.open("path/to/image.ext")img.show()# Shows the image in a new window
importImageimg=Image.open(filepath)img.save("example.png")#img.save(outfile, options...)#img.save(outfile, format, options...)
