    Pillow

    Pillow

    Pillow

    The Python Imaging Library adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library provides extensive file format support, an efficient internal representation, and fairly powerful image processing capabilities. The core image library is designed for fast access to data stored in a few basic pixel formats. It should provide a solid foundation for a general image processing tool. Pillow for enterprise is available via the Tidelift subscription. The Python Imaging Library is ideal for image archival and batch processing applications. You can use the library to create thumbnails, convert between file formats, print images, etc. The current version identifies and reads a large number of formats. Write support is intentionally restricted to the most commonly used interchange and presentation formats. The library contains basic image processing functionality, including point operations, filtering with a set of built-in convolution kernels, and color space conversions.
