I've been handed a list of files from the backend of an application that are supposed to be jpeg files. However for the life of me I haven't been able to convert them into PIL image objects. When I call
str(curimg)
I get back:
<type 'str'>
. I have tried using open(), .read, io.BytesIO(img.read() and also doing nothing to it, but it keeps seeing it as a string. When i print the string, I get unrecognizable characters. Does anyone know how to tell python how to intepret this string as a jpeg and convert it into a pill image where I can call .size and np.array on?

PIL is a free library that adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter, supporting a range of image file formats such as PPM, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and BMP.
Image. open() Opens and identifies the given image file. This is a lazy operation; this function identifies the file, but the file remains open and the actual image data is not read from the file until you try to process the data (or call the load() method).
convert() Returns a converted copy of this image. For the “P” mode, this method translates pixels through the palette. If mode is omitted, a mode is chosen so that all information in the image and the palette can be represented without a palette.
PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. PIL. Image. new() method creates a new image with the given mode and size. Size is given as a (width, height)-tuple, in pixels.
The same thing but a bit simpler
from PIL import Image
import io
Image.open(io.BytesIO(image))
Note:
If image is on the web; you need to download it first.
import requests
image = requests.get(image_url).content #download image from web
And then pass it to io module.
io.BytesIO(image)
If image is in your hd; you can open directly with PIL.
Image.open('image_file.jpg') #image in your HD
