A powerful, yet easy to implement thumbnailing application for Django 2.2+
Below is a quick summary of usage. For more comprehensive information, view the
full documentation__ online or the peruse the project's docs directory.
__ http://easy-thumbnails.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
Version 2.8.0 adds support for thumbnailing SVG images when installed with the [svg] extra.
Of course it doesn't make sense to thumbnail SVG images, because being in vector format they can
scale to any size without quality of loss. However, users of easy-thumbnails may want to upload and
use SVG images just as if they would be PNG, GIF or JPEG. They don't necessarily care about the
format and definitely don't want to convert them to a pixel based format. What they want is to reuse
their templates with the templatetag thumbnail and scale and crop the images to whatever their
<img src="..." width="..." height="..."> has been prepared for.
This is done by adding an emulation layer named VIL, which aims to be compatible with the
PIL <https://python-pillow.org/>_ library. All thumbnailing operations, such as scaling and
cropping behave like pixel based images. The final filesize of such thumbnailed SVG images doesn't
of course change, but their width/height and bounding box may be adjusted to reflect the desired
size of the thumbnailed image.
.. note:: This feature is new and experimental, hence feedback about its proper functioning in third parts applications is highly appreciated.
Run pip install easy-thumbnails.
Add easy_thumbnails to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'easy_thumbnails',
)
Run manage.py migrate easy_thumbnails.
Thumbnail options can be predefined in settings.THUMBNAIL_ALIASES or just
specified in the template or Python code when run.
Given the following setting:
.. code-block:: python
THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = {
'': {
'avatar': {'size': (50, 50), 'crop': True},
},
}
Template:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{{ profile.photo|thumbnail_url:'avatar' }}" alt="" />
Python:
.. code-block:: python
from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer
thumb_url = get_thumbnailer(profile.photo)['avatar'].url
Template:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{% thumbnail profile.photo 50x50 crop %}" alt="" />
Python:
.. code-block:: python
from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer
options = {'size': (100, 100), 'crop': True}
thumb_url = get_thumbnailer(profile.photo).get_thumbnail(options).url
Alternatively, you load the templatetags by {% load easy_thumbnails_tags %}
instead of traditional {% load thumbnail %}. It's especially useful in
projects that do make use of multiple thumbnailer libraries that use the
same name (thumbnail) for the templatetag module:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load easy_thumbnails_tags %}
<img src="{% thumbnail profile.photo 50x50 crop %}" alt="" />
You can use ThumbnailerImageField (or ThumbnailerField) for easier
access to retrieve or generate thumbnail images.
For example:
.. code-block:: python
from easy_thumbnails.fields import ThumbnailerImageField
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField('auth.User')
photo = ThumbnailerImageField(upload_to='photos', blank=True)
Accessing the field's predefined alias in a template:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{{ profile.photo.avatar.url }}" alt="" />
Accessing the field's predefined alias in Python code:
.. code-block:: python
thumb_url = profile.photo['avatar'].url
cropBefore scaling the image down to fit within the size bounds, it first cuts
the edges of the image to match the requested aspect ratio.
Use crop="smart" to try to keep the most interesting part of the image,
Use crop="0,10" to crop from the left edge and a 10% offset from the
top edge. Crop from a single edge by leaving dimension empty (e.g.
crop=",0"). Offset from the right / bottom by using negative numbers
(e.g., crop="-0,-10").
Often used with the upscale option, which will allow enlarging of the image
during scaling.
quality=XXChanges the quality of the output JPEG thumbnail. Defaults to 85.
In Python code, this is given as a separate option to the get_thumbnail
method rather than just alter the other.
keep_icc_profileIf True, when saving a thumbnail with the alias that defines this option, the
ICC profile of the image will be preserved in the thumbnail, if present in the first place.
Valid thumbnail options are determined by the "thumbnail processors" installed.
See the reference documentation__ for a complete list of options provided by
the default thumbnail processors.
