Usage Examples

Basic Example

Create a paste button that displays the pasted image when clicked.

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_paste_button import paste_image_button as pbutton

paste_result = pbutton("📋 Paste an image")

if paste_result.image_data is not None:
    st.write('Pasted image:')
    st.image(paste_result.image_data)

Customizing the button

Create a paste button with a custom label and colors.

from streamlit_paste_button import paste_image_button as pbutton

paste_result = pbutton(
    label="📋 Paste an image",
    text_color="#ffffff",
    background_color="#FF0000",
    hover_background_color="#380909",
)

Handling errors

Create a paste button that displays errors as st.error messages.

from streamlit_paste_button import paste_image_button as pbutton

paste_result = pbutton(
    label="📋 Paste an image",
    errors="raise",
)

Converting the PasteResult

PasteResult is a PIL.Image.Image object. It can be manipulated as such.

from streamlit_paste_button import paste_image_button as pbutton
import io
import base64
import numpy as np

paste_result = pbutton("📋 Paste an image")

if paste_result.image_data is not None:
    # Convert to bytes
    img_bytes = io.BytesIO()
    paste_result.image_data.save(img_bytes, format='PNG')
    img_bytes = img_bytes.getvalue() # Image as bytes

    # Convert to base64
    img_b64 =  base64.b64encode(img_bytes).decode('utf-8') # Image as base64

    # Convert to numpy array
    img_np = np.array(paste_result.image_data) # Image as numpy array
