django-pictures

Responsive cross-browser image library using modern codes like AVIF & WebP.

PyPi Version Test Coverage GitHub License

Usage

# models.py
from django.db import models
from pictures.models import PictureField

class Profile(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    picture = PictureField(upload_to='avatars')
<!-- template.html -->
{% load pictures %}
{% picture profile.picture alt="Spiderman" m=6 l=4 %}

The template above will render into:

<picture>
  <source type="image/webp"
          srcset="/media/testapp/profile/image/800w.webp 800w, /media/testapp/profile/image/100w.webp 100w, /media/testapp/profile/image/200w.webp 200w, /media/testapp/profile/image/300w.webp 300w, /media/testapp/profile/image/400w.webp 400w, /media/testapp/profile/image/500w.webp 500w, /media/testapp/profile/image/600w.webp 600w, /media/testapp/profile/image/700w.webp 700w"
          sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 991px) 100vw, (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px) 33vw, 600px">
  <img src="/media/testapp/profile/image.jpg" alt="Spiderman" width="800" height="800">
</picture>

Setup

python3 -m pip install django-pictures
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'django_pictures',
]

# the following are defaults, but you can override them
PICTURES = {
    "BREAKPOINTS": {
        "xs": 576,
        "s": 768,
        "m": 992,
        "l": 1200,
        "xl": 1400,
    },
    "GRID_COLUMNS": 12,
    "CONTAINER_WIDTH": 1200,
    "FILE_TYPES": ["WEBP"],
    "PIXEL_DENSITIES": [1, 2],
}

Config

Breakpoints

You may define your own breakpoints, they should be identical to the ones used in your css library. Simply override the PICTURES["BREAKPOINTS"] setting.

Grid columns

Grids are so common in web design, that they even made it into CSS. We default to 12 columns, but you can override this setting, via the PICTURES["GRID_COLUMNS"] setting.

Container width

Containers are commonly used to limit the maximum width of layouts, to promote better readability on larger screens. We default to 1200px, but you can override this setting, via the PICTURES["CONTAINER_WIDTH"] setting.

You may also set it to None, should you not use a container.

File types

Unless you still services IE11 clients, you should be fine serving just WebP. Sadly, AVIF (WebP's successor) is not yet supported by Pillow.

Pixel densities

Unless you really care that your images hold of if you hold your UHD phone very close to your eyeballs, you should be fine, serving at the default 1x and 2x densities.
