Package for simple creation images of snippets for social networks using pillow. Pictures for snippets can be inserted for sharing pages in social networks, for example in tag meta:
<meta property="og:image" content="Link to your snippet image" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="Link to your snippet image" />
pip3 install snippet-image
To start creating images for snippets, it is enough to import the function from snippet_image import create_snippet_image
.
from snippet_image import create_snippet_image
image_blob = create_snippet_image(
font='/home/iamterminator/.fonts/OpenSans-Bold.ttf', # Path to your font file
font_size=62, # Font size
background='/home/iamterminator/.wallpapers/jakethedog.jpg', # Path to your background image
size=(1200, 630), # Size of snippet image. (width, height)
text='Jake the Dog', # Text for draw on snippet image
brightness=0.3, # Brightness of background
)
with open('jake-the-dog-snippet-image.jpg', 'wb') as file:
file.write(image_blob.getvalue())
Next, open the file jake-the-dog-snippet-image.jpg
and you will see the following image.
Args:
- font (str) - Path to font file. Is required. For load font used PIL.ImageFont.
Kwargs:
- size (tuple(int, int)) - Size of snippet image. (width, height).
- text (str) - Text of snippet image. By default is an empty string.
- background (str) - Path to background image file.
- background_color (tuple(int, int, int)) - Background color of snippet image. Used when background is None. By default is (0, 0, 0).
- overlay (str) - Path to overlay image. if size is None, overlay size is used. As an overlay, an image with a transparent background is used.
- brightness (float)- Brightness of background of snippet image. Value from 0 to 1.
- font_color(tuple(int, int, int, int)) - RGBA font color. By default is (255, 255, 255, 255).
- font_size (int) - Size of snippet image text. By default is 64.
- padding (float) - Text indents to the left and right of the snippet image. Value from 0 to 1. 0 - 0% width; 1 - 100% width.
- center tuple(int, int) - Background image center for crop and resize image. (x, y). Defaults is center of background image.
Return
- BytesIO blob of snippet image
If the size is set, then it is used as the snippet image size. If the size is not set, then the overlay must be set, and then the size of the overlay is used as the image snippet size.
If the path to the image with background is set as background
,
then it is selected as the background for snippet image.
For open used
PIL.Image.open(background)
If the path is not specified, then the fill color as background_color
is used as the background.
PIL.Image.new('RGB', size, background_color)
Next, the background image is enhanced brightness.
PIL.ImageEnhance.Brightness(image).enhance(brightness)
Next, the background image is cropped and resized.
For load font used:
font = PIL.ImageFont.truetype(font, size=font_size, encoding='UTF-8')
To align text in the center, the maximum width in chars that a line can occupy is calculated.
line_length = int((width * (1 - padding)) / (font.getsize(text)[0] / len(text)))
An overlay is an image with a transparent background to create a kind of watermark.
For example:
For paste used:
image.paste(overlay_image, (0, 0), mask=overlay_image)
Example with background and overlay
Example without background and overlay

Wagtail: wagtail-snippet-image.
The example is in exmaple.py.
