I need to resize jpg images with Python without losing the original image's EXIF data (metadata about date taken, camera model etc.). All google searches about python and images point to the PIL library which I'm currently using, but doesn't seem to be able to retain the metadata. The code I have so far (using PIL) is this:
img = Image.open('foo.jpg')
width,height = 800,600
if img.size[0] < img.size[1]:
width,height = height,width
resized_img = img.resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS) # best down-sizing filter
resized_img.save('foo-resized.jpg')
Any ideas? Or other libraries that I could be using?
There is actually a really simple way of copying EXIF data from a picture to another with only PIL. Though it doesn't permit to modify the exif tags.
image = Image.open('test.jpg')
exif = image.info['exif']
# Your picture process here
image = image.rotate(90)
image.save('test_rotated.jpg', 'JPEG', exif=exif)
As you can see, the save function can take the exif argument which permits to copy the raw exif data in the new image when saving. You don't actually need any other lib if that's all you want to do. I can't seem to find any documentation on the save options and I don't even know if that's specific to Pillow or working with PIL too. (If someone has some kind of link, I would enjoy if they posted it in the comments)
import jpeg
jpeg.setExif(jpeg.getExif('foo.jpg'), 'foo-resized.jpg')

You can use pyexiv2 to copy EXIF data from source image. In the following example image is resized using PIL library, EXIF data copied with pyexiv2 and image size EXIF fields are set with new size.
def resize_image(source_path, dest_path, size):
# resize image
image = Image.open(source_path)
image.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
image.save(dest_path, "JPEG")
# copy EXIF data
source_image = pyexiv2.Image(source_path)
source_image.readMetadata()
dest_image = pyexiv2.Image(dest_path)
dest_image.readMetadata()
source_image.copyMetadataTo(dest_image)
# set EXIF image size info to resized size
dest_image["Exif.Photo.PixelXDimension"] = image.size[0]
dest_image["Exif.Photo.PixelYDimension"] = image.size[1]
dest_image.writeMetadata()
# resizing local file
resize_image("41965749.jpg", "resized.jpg", (600,400))
Why not using ImageMagick?
It is quite a standard tool (for instance, it is the standard tool used by Gallery 2); I have never used it, however it has a python interface as well (or, you can also simply spawn the command) and most of all, should maintain EXIF information between all transformation.
Here's an updated answer as of 2018. piexif is a pure python library that for me installed easily via pip (pip install piexif) and worked beautifully (thank you, maintainers!). https://pypi.org/project/piexif/
The usage is very simple, a single line will replicate the accepted answer and copy all EXIF tags from the original image to the resized image:
import piexif
piexif.transplant("foo.jpg", "foo-resized.jpg")
I haven't tried yet, but it looks like you could also perform modifcations easily by using the load, dump, and insert functions as described in the linked documentation.
For pyexiv2 v0.3.2, the API documentation refers to the copy method to carry over EXIF data from one image to another. In this case it would be the EXIF data of the original image over to the resized image.
Going off #Maksym Kozlenko, the updated code for copying EXIF data is:
source_image = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(source_path)
source_image.read()
dest_image = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(dest_path)
dest_image.read()
source_image.copy(dest_image,exif=True)
dest_image.write()
You can use pyexiv2 to modify the file after saving it.
from PIL import Image
img_path = "/tmp/img.jpg"
img = Image.open(img_path)
exif = img.info['exif']
img.save("output_"+img_path, exif=exif)
Tested in Pillow 2.5.3
It seems #Depado's solution does not work for me, in my scenario the image does not even contain an exif segment.
pyexiv2 is hard to install on my Mac, instead I use the module pexif https://github.com/bennoleslie/pexif/blob/master/pexif.py. To "add exif segment" to an image does not contain exif info, I added the exif info contained in an image which owns a exif segment
from pexif import JpegFile
#get exif segment from an image
jpeg = JpegFile.fromFile(path_with_exif)
jpeg_exif = jpeg.get_exif()
#import the exif segment above to the image file which does not contain exif segment
jpeg = JpegFile.fromFile(path_without_exif)
exif = jpeg.import_exif(jpeg_exif)
jpeg.writeFile(path_without_exif)
Updated version of Maksym Kozlenko
Python3 and py3exiv2 v0.7
# Resize image and update Exif data
from PIL import Image
import pyexiv2
def resize_image(source_path, dest_path, size):
# resize image
image = Image.open(source_path)
# Using thumbnail, then 'size' is MAX width or weight
# so will retain aspect ratio
image.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
image.save(dest_path, "JPEG")
# copy EXIF data
source_exif = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(source_path)
source_exif.read()
dest_exif = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(dest_path)
dest_exif.read()
source_exif.copy(dest_exif,exif=True)
# set EXIF image size info to resized size
dest_exif["Exif.Photo.PixelXDimension"] = image.size[0]
dest_exif["Exif.Photo.PixelYDimension"] = image.size[1]
dest_exif.write()
PIL handles EXIF data, doesn't it? Look in PIL.ExifTags.

I have an image in memory (downloaded from an online source) and I want to convert it to a different format before sending it on to a different online location.
The conversion is .webp to .jpg but that's not really relevant.
With Pillow I can easily convert local images and save them back to disc, but I can't get it to work with an image in memory.
I don't necessarily need to use Pillow. Any way to convert the image without having to save anything to disc is fine.
I am new to BytesIO with PIL, so just check my code attempt, with my test image it works, let me know
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
img = Image.open('test.webp')
print('image : ', img.format)
img.show()
# Write PIL Image to in-memory PNG
membuf = BytesIO()
img.save(membuf, format="png")
img = Image.open(membuf)
print('image : ', img.format)
img.show()
I have a set of many songs, some of which have png images in metadata, and I need to convert these to jpg.
I know how to convert png images to jpg in general, but I am currently accessing metadata using eyed3, which returns ImageFrame objects, and I don't know how to manipulate these. I can, for instance, access the image type with
print(img.mime_type)
which returns
image/png
but I don't know how to progress from here. Very naively I tried loading the image with OpenCV, but it is either not a compatible format or I didn't do it properly. And anyway I wouldn't know how to update the old image with the new one either!
Note: While I am currently working with eyed3, it is perfectly fine if I can solve this any other way.
I was finally able to solve this, although in a not very elegant way.
The first step is to load the image. For some reason I could not make this work with eyed3, but TinyTag does the job:
from PIL import Image
from tinytag import TinyTag
tag = TinyTag.get(mp3_path, image=True)
image_data = tag.get_image()
img_bites = io.BytesIO(image_data)
photo = Image.open(im)
Then I manipulate it. For example we may resize it and save it as jpg. Because we are using Pillow (PIL) for these operations, we actually need to save the image and finally load it back to get the binary data (this detail is probably what should be improved in the process).
photo = photo.resize((500, 500)) # suppose we want 500 x 500 pixels
rgb_photo = photo.convert("RGB")
rgb_photo.save(temp_file_path, format="JPEG")
The last step is thus to load the image and set it as metadata. You have more details about this step in this answer.:
audio_file = eyed3.load(mp3_path) # this has been loaded before
audio_file.tag.images.set(
3, open(temp_file_path, "rb").read(), "image/jpeg"
)
audio_file.tag.save()
I'm currently making a program that renders information to a buffer, and I want to save the information as an image file of some sort to my working directory. I've seen some examples using PIL, but that library isn't supported for python 3.x. Are there better alternatives?
First uninstall PIL than install Pillow
its a PIL's clone which works on python 3.x.
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("test1.jpg") #jpg, png, etc.
pix = img.load()
print img.size #Get the width and height of the image for iterating over
print pix[15,15] #Get the RGBA Value of the a pixel of an image
pix[15, 15] = value # Set the RGBA Value of the image (tuple)
img.save("out.jpg") # Saves the modified pixels to image
In order to reduce the size of images to be used in a website, I reduced the quality to 80-85%. This decreases the image size quite a bit, up to an extent.
To reduce the size further without compromising the quality, my friend pointed out that raw images from cameras have a lot of metadata called Exif info. Since there is no need to retain this Exif info for images in a website, we can remove it. This will further reduce the size by 3-10 kB.
But I'm not able to find an appropriate library to do this in my Python code. I have browsed through related questions and tried out some of the methods:
Original image: http://mdb.ibcdn.com/8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i.jpg
Mogrify
/usr/local/bin/mogrify -strip filename
Result: http://s23.postimg.org/aeaw5x7ez/8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i_mogrify.jpg
This method reduces the size from 105 kB to 99.6 kB, but also changed the color quality.
Exif-tool
exiftool -all= filename
Result: http://s22.postimg.org/aiq99o775/8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i_exiftool.jpg
This method reduces the size from 105 kB to 72.7 kB, but also changed the color quality.
This answer explains in detail how to manipulate the Exif info, but how do I use it to remove the info?
Can anyone please help me remove all the extra metadata without changing the colours, dimensions, and other properties of an image?
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open('image_file.jpeg')
# next 3 lines strip exif
data = list(image.getdata())
image_without_exif = Image.new(image.mode, image.size)
image_without_exif.putdata(data)
image_without_exif.save('image_file_without_exif.jpeg')
For me, gexiv2 works fine:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from gi.repository import GExiv2
exif = GExiv2.Metadata('8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i.jpg')
exif.clear_exif()
exif.clear_xmp()
exif.save_file()
See also Exif manipulation library for python, which you linked, but didn't read all answers ;)
You can try loading the image with the Python Image Lirbary (PIL) and then save it again to a different file. That should remove the meta data.
You don't even need to do the extra steps #user2141737 suggested. Just opening it up with PIL and saving it again seems to do the trick just fine:
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open('path/to/image')
image.save('new/path/' + file_name)
As for pillow==9.2.0
This seems to print exif data, a mutable mapping
print(im.info)
This seems to clear exif data for PNG
def clear_exif():
with Image.open('./my_image.png', mode='r', formats=['PNG']) as im:
fields_to_keep = ('transparency', )
exif_fields = list(im.info.keys())
for k in exif_fields:
if k not in fields_to_keep:
del im.info[k]
im.save('./my_image.png', format='PNG')
I'm streaming a png image from my iPhone to my MacBook over tcp. The MacBook code is from http://docs.python.org/library/socketserver.html#requesthandler-objects. How can the image be converted for use with OpenCV? A png was selected because they are efficient, but other formats could be used.
I wrote a test program that reads the rawImage from a file, but not sure how to convert it:
# Read rawImage from a file, but in reality will have it from TCPServer
f = open('frame.png', "rb")
rawImage = f.read()
f.close()
# Not sure how to convert rawImage
npImage = np.array(rawImage)
matImage = cv2.imdecode(rawImage, 1)
#show it
cv.NamedWindow('display')
cv.MoveWindow('display', 10, 10)
cv.ShowImage('display', matImage)
cv. WaitKey(0)
#Andy Rosenblum's works, and it might be the best solution if using the outdated cv python API (vs. cv2).
However, because this question is equally interesting for users of the latest versions, I suggest the following solution. The sample code below may be better than the accepted solution because:
It is compatible with newer OpenCV python API (cv2 vs. cv). This solution is tested under opencv 3.0 and python 3.0. I believe only trivial modifications would be required for opencv 2.x and/or python 2.7x.
Fewer imports. This can all be done with numpy and opencv directly, no need for StringIO and PIL.
Here is how I create an opencv image decoded directly from a file object, or from a byte buffer read from a file object.
import cv2
import numpy as np
#read the data from the file
with open(somefile, 'rb') as infile:
buf = infile.read()
#use numpy to construct an array from the bytes
x = np.fromstring(buf, dtype='uint8')
#decode the array into an image
img = cv2.imdecode(x, cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
#show it
cv2.imshow("some window", img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
Note that in opencv 3.0, the naming convention for the various constants/flags changed, so if using opencv 2.x, you will need to change the flag cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED. This code sample also assumes you are loading in a standard 8-bit image, but if not, you can play with the dtype='...' flag in np.fromstring.
another way,
also in the case of a reading an actual file this will work for a unicode path (tested on windows)
with open(image_full_path, 'rb') as img_stream:
file_bytes = numpy.asarray(bytearray(img_stream.read()), dtype=numpy.uint8)
img_data_ndarray = cv2.imdecode(file_bytes, cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED)
img_data_cvmat = cv.fromarray(img_data_ndarray) # convert to old cvmat if needed
I figured it out:
# Read rawImage from a file, but in reality will have it from TCPServer
f = open('frame.png', "rb")
rawImage = f.read()
f.close()
# Convert rawImage to Mat
pilImage = Image.open(StringIO(rawImage));
npImage = np.array(pilImage)
matImage = cv.fromarray(npImage)
#show it
cv.NamedWindow('display')
cv.MoveWindow('display', 10, 10)
cv.ShowImage('display', matImage)
cv. WaitKey(0)
This works for me (these days):
import cv2
import numpy as np
data = open('016e263c726a.raw').read()
x = np.frombuffer(data, dtype='uint8').reshape(2048,2448)
cv2.imshow('x',x); cv2.waitKey(); cv2.destroyAllWindows()
But it reads a RAW image saved without any specific format.
(Your question seems to be tagged objective-c but you ask for Python and so is your example, so I'll use that.)
My first post on Stack Overflow!
The cv.LoadImageM method seems to be what you are looking for.
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/python/reading_and_writing_images_and_video.html
Example use:
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/PythonInterface/
LoadImage(filename, iscolor=CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR) → None
Loads an image from a file as an IplImage.
Parameters:
filename (str) – Name of file to be loaded.
iscolor (int) –
Specific color type of the loaded image:
CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR the loaded image is forced to be a 3-channel color image
CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE the loaded image is forced to be grayscale
CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED the loaded image will be loaded as is.
The function cvLoadImage loads an image from the specified file and
returns the pointer to the loaded image. Currently the following file
formats are supported:
Windows bitmaps - BMP, DIB
JPEG files - JPEG, JPG, JPE
Portable Network Graphics - PNG
Portable image format - PBM, PGM, PPM
Sun rasters - SR, RAS
TIFF files - TIFF, TIF
Note that in the current implementation the alpha channel, if any, is
stripped from the output image, e.g. 4-channel RGBA image will be
loaded as RGB.
When you have to load from file, this simple solution does the job (tested with opencv-python-3.2.0.6):
import cv2
img = cv2.imread(somefile)
