Converting jpeg string to PIL image object

Question

I\'ve been handed a list of files from the backend of an application that are supposed to be jpeg files. However for the life of me I haven\'t been able to convert them into

Answer 1

The same thing but a bit simpler

from PIL import Image
import io
Image.open(io.BytesIO(image))

Note:

If image is on the web; you need to download it first.

import requests
image = requests.get(image_url).content  #download image from web

And then pass it to io module.

io.BytesIO(image)

If image is in your hd; you can open directly with PIL.

Image.open('image_file.jpg')  #image in your HD
