Easy PIL

A Python library built on top of Pillow to easily edit/modify images.

Installation

pip install easy-pil

Requires Python 3.11 or higher.

Quick Example

from easy_pil import Editor, Canvas

canvas = Canvas(width=500, height=500)
editor = Editor(canvas)

editor.text((10, 10), "Hello World")
editor.show()  # or .save("output.png")

Effects System

Apply 38+ effects using the unified effect() method with Effect classes:

from easy_pil import Editor, load_image
from easy_pil import Vignette, Glow, Gradient, Blur, Sepia, PixelSort

editor = Editor(load_image("image.jpg"))

# Single effect
editor.effect(Vignette(radius=120, feather=60))

# Chain multiple effects
editor.effect(Blur(amount=2)).effect(Sepia()).save("out.png")

All Effects

Category	Effects
Blur & Filters	Blur (box/gaussian), Contour, Emboss, EdgeEnhance, Sharpen, Smooth, Pixelate

Each Effect class has configurable parameters — see the API Reference for details.

Text Features

from easy_pil import Editor, Font, Text

editor = Editor("image.jpg")

# Simple text
editor.text((10, 10), "Hello", font=Font.poppins(size=32), color="white")

# Rich text with mixed colors/fonts
editor.rich_text((10, 50), [
    Text("Hello", Font.poppins(size=32), "red"),
    Text("World", Font.poppins(size=24), "blue"),
])

# Auto-wrapping text box
editor.text_box((10, 100), "Long text that wraps automatically...",
                font=Font.poppins(size=20), max_width=400)

# Text with drop shadow
editor.text_shadow((200, 300), "Hello", font=Font.poppins(size=40),
                   shadow_color="black", shadow_offset=(3, 3))

# Auto-fit text to width (accepts Font, FreeTypeFont, or path string)
font = editor.fit_text("Title", max_width=300, font=Font.poppins(size=40))
editor.text((10, 10), "Title", font=font)

# Centered text (no position — auto-centers on image)
editor.centered_text("Centered", font=Font.poppins(size=30))

Drawing Shapes

editor.rectangle((10, 10), width=100, height=50, fill="red")
editor.ellipse((150, 10), width=80, height=80, outline="blue", stroke_width=3)
editor.bar((10, 70), width=200, height=20, fill="green")
editor.rounded_bar((10, 100), width=200, height=20, fill="purple", radius=10)
editor.polygon([(300, 10), (350, 50), (250, 50)], fill="orange")
editor.arc((10, 150), width=100, height=100, start=0, rotation=180, fill="pink", stroke_width=3)
editor.line((10, 300), (200, 350), width=4, fill="black")
editor.donut((300, 300), inner_radius=30, outer_radius=60, fill="teal")

Image Adjustments

editor.resize((400, 400))
editor.rotate(45, expand=True)
editor.crop((50, 50, 200, 200))
editor.flip(horizontal=True)
editor.thumbnail((200, 200))
editor.contrast(1.5)
editor.brightness(1.2)
editor.saturation(0.8)
editor.invert()
editor.blur(mode="gaussian", amount=5)

Compositing

editor.blend(other_image, alpha=0.5)
editor.paste(overlay, position=(50, 50))
editor.mask(mask_image, invert=False)
editor.compose([img1, img2, img3], direction="vertical", align="center")
editor.rounded_corners(radius=20)
editor.circle_image()
editor.add_border(width=5, color="black")

Image I/O

editor = Editor.open("image.png")
editor.save("output.png")
editor.show()
editor.to_bytes(fmt="PNG")  # -> bytes

# Context manager — auto-closes image on exit
with Editor("image.png") as e:
    e.resize((400, 400)).save("thumb.png")

Async Support

from easy_pil import load_image_async

img = await load_image_async("https://example.com/image.png")

GIF Editing

from easy_pil import GifEditor

with GifEditor("animation.gif") as gif:
    gif.rotate(90)
    gif.save("rotated.gif")
