Sometimes, we want to decode base64 from POST to use in PIL and Python.
In this article, we’ll look at how to decode base64 from POST to use in PIL and Python.
How to decode base64 from POST to use in PIL and Python?
To decode base64 from POST to use in PIL and Python, we can call Image.open to open the image.
For instance, we write
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
import base64
data['img'] = '''iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg='''
im = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(data['img'])))
to call base64.b64decode to decode the base64 string into bytes.
Then we use the bytes to create the BytesIO object.
And then we can open the bytes as an image with Image.open.
Conclusion
To decode base64 from POST to use in PIL and Python, we can call Image.open to open the image.
