Basic Installation¶

Note

The following instructions will install Pillow with support formost common image formats. See External Libraries for afull list of external libraries supported.

Install Pillow with pip:

Windows Installation¶

We provide Pillow binaries for Windows compiled for the matrix ofsupported Pythons in both 32 and 64-bit versions in the wheel format.These binaries include support for all optional libraries exceptlibimagequant and libxcb. Raqm support requiresFriBiDi to be installed separately:

To install Pillow in MSYS2, see Building on Windows using MSYS2/MinGW.

macOS Installation¶

We provide binaries for macOS for each of the supported Pythonversions in the wheel format. These include support for all optionallibraries except libimagequant. Raqm support requiresFriBiDi to be installed separately:

Linux Installation¶

We provide binaries for Linux for each of the supported Pythonversions in the manylinux wheel format. These include support for alloptional libraries except libimagequant. Raqm support requiresFriBiDi to be installed separately:

Most major Linux distributions, including Fedora, Ubuntu and ArchLinuxalso include Pillow in packages that previously contained PIL e.g.python-imaging. Debian splits it into two packages, python3-piland python3-pil.imagetk.

FreeBSD Installation¶

Pillow can be installed on FreeBSD via the official Ports or Packages systems:

Ports:

Packages:

Note

The Pillow FreeBSD port and packagesare tested by the ports team with all supported FreeBSD versions.

Building From Source¶

Download and extract the compressed archive from PyPI.

External Libraries¶

Note

You do not need to install all supported external libraries touse Pillow’s basic features. Zlib and libjpeg are requiredby default.

Note

There are Dockerfiles in our Docker images repo to install thedependencies for some operating systems.

Many of Pillow’s features require external libraries:

libjpeg provides JPEG functionality.
- Pillow has been tested with libjpeg versions 6b, 8, 9-9d andlibjpeg-turbo version 8.
- Starting with Pillow 3.0.0, libjpeg is required by default, butmay be disabled with the --disable-jpeg flag.
zlib provides access to compressed PNGs
- Starting with Pillow 3.0.0, zlib is required by default, but maybe disabled with the --disable-zlib flag.
libtiff provides compressed TIFF functionality
- Pillow has been tested with libtiff versions 3.x and 4.0-4.1
libfreetype provides type related services
littlecms provides color management
- Pillow version 2.2.1 and below uses liblcms1, Pillow 2.3.0 andabove uses liblcms2. Tested with 1.19 and 2.7-2.12.
libwebp provides the WebP format.
- Pillow has been tested with version 0.1.3, which does not readtransparent WebP files. Versions 0.3.0 and above supporttransparency.
tcl/tk provides support for tkinter bitmap and photo images.
openjpeg provides JPEG 2000 functionality.
- Pillow has been tested with openjpeg 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.3.1 and 2.4.0.
- Pillow does not support the earlier 1.5 series which shipswith Debian Jessie.
libimagequant provides improved color quantization
- Pillow has been tested with libimagequant 2.6-2.14.1
- Libimagequant is licensed GPLv3, which is more restrictive thanthe Pillow license, therefore we will not be distributing binarieswith libimagequant support enabled.
libraqm provides complex text layout support.
- libraqm provides bidirectional text support (using FriBiDi),shaping (using HarfBuzz), and proper script itemization. As aresult, Raqm can support most writing systems covered by Unicode.
- libraqm depends on the following libraries: FreeType, HarfBuzz,FriBiDi, make sure that you install them before installing libraqmif not available as package in your system.
- Setting text direction or font features is not supported without libraqm.
- Pillow wheels since version 8.2.0 include a modified version of libraqm thatloads libfribidi at runtime if it is installed.On Windows this requires compiling FriBiDi and installing fribidi.dllinto a directory listed in the Dynamic-Link Library Search Order (Microsoft Docs)(fribidi-0.dll or libfribidi-0.dll are also detected).See Build Options to see how to build this version.
- Previous versions of Pillow (5.0.0 to 8.1.2) linked libraqm dynamically at runtime.
libxcb provides X11 screengrab support.

Once you have installed the prerequisites, run:

If the prerequisites are installed in the standard library locationsfor your machine (e.g. /usr or /usr/local), noadditional configuration should be required. If they are installed ina non-standard location, you may need to configure setuptools to usethose locations by editing setup.py orsetup.cfg, or by adding environment variables on the commandline:

If Pillow has been previously built without the requiredprerequisites, it may be necessary to manually clear the pip cache orbuild without cache using the --no-cache-dir option to force abuild with new
