ImageSequence Module

The ImageSequence module contains a wrapper class that lets youiterate over the frames of an image sequence.

Extracting frames from an animation

  1. from PIL import Image, ImageSequence
  2.  
  3. with Image.open("animation.fli") as im:
  4. index = 1
  5. for frame in ImageSequence.Iterator(im):
  6. frame.save("frame%d.png" % index)
  7. index += 1

The Iterator class

  • class PIL.ImageSequence.Iterator(im)[source]
  • This class implements an iterator object that can be used to loopover an image sequence.

You can use the [] operator to access elements by index. This operatorwill raise an IndexError if you try to access a nonexistentframe.

Parameters:im – An image object.
