Flask-Images 1.0.0

Dynamic image resizing for Flask.

This extension adds a resized_img_src function to the template context, which creates a URL to dynamically resize an image. This function takes either a path to a local image (either absolute, or relative to the IMAGES_PATH) or an URL to a remote image, and returns a URL that will serve a resized version on demand.

For example:

~~~ <img src=”{{resized_img_src(‘logo.png’, width=100)}}” /> <img src=”{{resized_img_src(‘photo.jpeg’, width=400, height=300, mode=’crop’, quality=95)}}” /> ~~~

Specify behaviour with keyword arguments:

• mode: one of ‘fit’, ‘crop’, ‘pad’, or None:

  • ‘fit’: as large as possible while fitting within the given dimensions;

  • ‘crop’: as large as possible while fitting into the given aspect ratio;

  • ‘pad’: as large as possible while fitting within the given dimensions, and padding to the given dimensions with a background colour;

  • None: resize to the specific dimensions without preserving aspect ratio.

• width and height: pixel dimensions; at least one is required.

• format: The file extension to use (as accepted by PIL); defaults to the input image’s extension.

• quality: JPEG quality; defaults to 75.

• background: Background colour for padding; currently only accepts ‘white’ and defaults to black.
