Get page as image

[Impre-visible]

Hi, I want to read an epub, and get all the pages as images. Is that possible ? I tried that, but don't work :

book = epub.read_epub(book_slug)
item = book.get_items()[int(page)]
content = item.get_content()
image_stream = io.BytesIO(content)
image_stream.seek(0)
return send_file(image_stream, mimetype="image/jpeg")

@Impre-visible you may require an external library such as Pillow (https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/handbook/index.html). I have used Pillow with ebooklib to extract all the images (including SVG) from the epub and save the files. Here are some examples which may help out https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68648801/generate-image-from-given-text

I found a way to do that, I send it here in a few hours so you can see how I did

Wait, do you want to get HTML content of a pages as image or all images inside of the EPUB file?

If it is former it would probably be the best to unzip EPUB file to temp directory and use some of the HTML2IMAGE 3rd party libraries to create an image. Extracting to temp directory so the 3rd party tool has access to images and css files.

If it is latter then you do something like (very simple version which does not include some image post processing):

from ebooklib.utils import guess_type

for image in  book.get_items_of_type(ebooklib.ITEM_IMAGE):
     content_of_image = image.get_content()
     mt, en = guess_type(image.get_name())
     if mt:
         send_file(content_of_image, mimetype=mt)
