GeezerVison is showing python-pillow.org — Python Pillow Python Imaging Library PillowPillow adds powerful image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter — open, edit, and save many different image file formats with a simple, well-documented API. 
ProjectDocumentationOur documentation is hosted by Read the Docs and includes installation instructions, handbook, API reference and release notes. DiscussionDiscussion about Pillow development, programming and technical issues occurs on GitHub and Stack Overflow. Source CodeOur source code is hosted by GitHub and tested on GitHub Actions and Codecov, and uploaded to the Python Package Index. Support Pillow's FuturePillow is free, open source software maintained by volunteers who review pull requests, fix bugs, write documentation, and ship regular releases — all in their spare time. Millions of projects depend on Pillow every day. If Pillow powers your product or business, consider sponsoring us to help keep it secure, fast, and well-maintained for everyone.

For Enterprise
Available as part of the Sonar Subscription. The maintainers of Pillow and thousands of other packages are working with Sonar (formerly Tidelift) to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact dependencies you use. Learn MorePowering the Python ecosystemPillow is a dependency of over two million repositories and over 30K packages. Here are a few well-known open source projects that rely on it for image processing. Django
The Django web
framework uses Pillow to validate and introspect uploaded images for its
built-in WagtailWagtail, the popular Django-based CMS, depends on Pillow to generate the image renditions and thumbnails used throughout its admin and templates. Home AssistantHome Assistant uses Pillow to process camera snapshots and generate thumbnails across its smart home integrations. MatplotlibMatplotlib, the widely used plotting library, uses Pillow to read and write image formats such as JPEG when saving figures. From PIL to PillowPillow is a fork of the Python Imaging Library (PIL), but after more than a decade of active development it has effectively become the Python Imaging Library.
1995
Fredrik Lundh, aka Effbot, releases the Python Imaging Library (PIL).
2010
Jeffrey ‘Alex’ Clark forks PIL to add setuptools support and publishes the fork to PyPI (Python Package Index) with the name "Pillow". Within a few years, a community of contributors joins in.
2013
Development of the original PIL has stopped, with no releases since 2009. Pillow is adopted as its replacement in Linux distributions including Debian and Ubuntu.
2020
Following the PEP 541 package abandonment process, PyPI moderators declare the original PIL package officially abandoned, confirming Pillow as its de facto successor.
Today
Pillow is maintained by a global community of contributors and is a dependency of over two million repositories and over 30K packages worldwide. TeamPillow is kept alive by a small volunteer team of core maintainers who review pull requests, triage issues, and ship every release.
In memory of Fredrik Lundh
Pillow 9.0.0 was dedicated to the memory of Fredrik Lundh, aka Effbot, who died in November 2021. Fredrik created PIL in 1995 and was instrumental in the early success of Python. |
