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

For me, none of the solutions above worked.

I finally managed to read the string properly like this:

from PIL import Image
img = Image.frombytes('RGB', (640, 480), img_str, 'raw')

To test it, you can do something like

image = Image.open("some.png")
print(image.mode, image.size) # OUT: 'RGB' (640, 480)
image = Image.frombytes('RGB', (640, 480), image.tobytes(), 'raw')
image.show()
