Convert png to jpeg using Pillow
I am trying to convert png to jpeg using pillow. I've tried several scrips without success. These 2 seemed to work on small png images like this one.
First code:
from PIL import Image
import os, sys
im = Image.open("Ba_b_do8mag_c6_big.png")
bg = Image.new("RGB", im.size, (255,255,255))
bg.paste(im,im)
bg.save("colors.jpg")
Second code:
image = Image.open('Ba_b_do8mag_c6_big.png')
bg = Image.new('RGBA',image.size,(255,255,255))
bg.paste(image,(0,0),image)
bg.save("test.jpg", quality=95)
But if I try to convert a bigger image like this one
I'm getting
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "png_converter.py", line 14, in <module>
bg.paste(image,(0,0),image)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1328, in paste
self.im.paste(im, box, mask.im) ValueError: bad transparency mask
What am i doing wrong?
Answer
You should use convert() method:
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("Ba_b_do8mag_c6_big.png")
rgb_im = im.convert('RGB')
rgb_im.save('colors.jpg')
