UPDATED: Django Image Thumbnail Filter by danfairs 5 years, 6 months ago

A filter to resize a ImageField on demand, a use case could be:

<img src="object.get_image_url" alt="original image"> <img src="object.image|thumbnail" alt="image resized to default 200x200 format"> <img src="object.image|thumbnail:"200x300" alt="image resized to 200x300">

The filter is applied to a image field (not the image url get from get_image_url method of the model), supposing the image filename is "image.jpg", it checks if there is a file called "image_200x200.jpg" or "image_200x300.jpg" on the second case, if the file isn't there, it resizes the original image, finally it returns the proper url to the resized image.

There is a TODO: the filter isn't checking if the original filename is newer than the cached resized image, it should check it and resize the image again in this case.

Shouldn't there be something like

thumbnail = register.filter(thumbnail)

at the end of the snippet?

the first thing which I've noticed is that thumbnail was not regenerated when I replaced main image. I suggest fix so thumbnail is removed (and then regenerated) when its outdated. I also had to move up filename= line.

miniature = basename + '_' + size + '.' +  format
filename = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, file)
miniature_filename = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, miniature)
miniature_url = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_URL, miniature)
if os.path.exists(miniature_filename) and \
       os.path.getmtime(filename)>os.path.getmtime(miniature_filename):
    os.unlink(miniature_filename)

also... Thumbnails are bad quality, I recommend adding anti aliasing when resizing:

    image.thumbnail([x, y],Image.ANTIALIAS) # generate a 200x200 thumbnail

For people like me using filestorage (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5361), this is the working modified code.

def thumbnail(file, size='100x150'):
    # defining the size
    x, y = [int(x) for x in size.split('x')]
    # defining the filename and the miniature filename
    basename, format = file.rsplit('.', 1)
    miniature = basename + '_' + size + '.' +  format
    miniature_nomedia = miniature[len(settings.MEDIA_URL):]
    file_nomedia = file[len(settings.MEDIA_URL):]
    filename = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, file_nomedia)
    miniature_filename = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, miniature_nomedia)
    miniature_url = miniature
    if os.path.exists(miniature_filename) and os.path.getmtime(filename)>os.path.getmtime(miniature_filename):
        os.unlink(miniature_filename)
    # if the image wasn't already resized, resize it
    if not os.path.exists(miniature_filename):
        image = Image.open(filename)
        image.thumbnail([x, y], Image.ANTIALIAS) # generate a 200x200 thumbnail
        image.save(miniature_filename, image.format)
    return miniature_url

    basename, format = os.path.splitext(filetail)
    miniature = basename + '_' + size + format
    filename = file.path
    miniature_filename = os.path.join(filehead,     miniature)
    filehead, filetail = os.path.split(file.url)
    miniature_url = filehead + '/' + miniature
    if os.path.exists(miniature_filename) and    os.path.getmtime(filename)>os.path.getmtime(miniature_filename):
        os.unlink(miniature_filename)
    # if the image wasn't already resized, resize it
    if not os.path.exists(miniature_filename):

        image.thumbnail([x, y], Image.ANTIALIAS)
    try:

    except:
        image.save(miniature_filename, image.format, quality=90)

    return miniature_url

register.filter(thumbnail)
