Python Imaging Library¶
Legacy Wiki Page
This page was migrated from the old MoinMoin-based wiki. Information may be outdated or no longer applicable. For current documentation, see python.org.
The PythonImagingLibrary (PIL) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports most popular file formats, and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities.
PIL comes with interfaces for TkInter and PythonWin. Many other GuiProgramming toolkits also support PIL images.
