Images API for legacy bundled services | App Engine standard environment for Python 2

App Engine provides the ability to manipulate image data using a dedicated Images service. The Images service can manipulate images, composite multiple images into a single image, convert image formats, provide image metadata such as format, width, height, and a histogram of color values.

This API is supported for first-generation runtimes and can be used when upgrading to corresponding second-generation runtimes. If you are updating to the App Engine Python 3 runtime, refer to the migration guide to learn about your migration options for legacy bundled services.

The Images service can accept image data directly from the app, or it can use a Cloud Storage value. (The Images service can also use a Cloud Blobstore value, but we recommend the use of Cloud Storage.)

Images stored in Cloud Storage and Cloud Blobstore can be up to the maximum allowed value for the respective service. The transformed image is returned directly to the app, and must be less than 32 megabytes.

Cloud Storage buckets must use fine-grained Access Control Lists for the Images API to work. For buckets that have been configured for uniform bucket-level access, the Images API will not be able to fetch images in that bucket and throws the error message TransformationError. If your bucket is configured in this manner, you can disable uniform bucket-level access.

Transforming images in Python 2

The following example loads image data from Cloud Datastore, then uses the Images service to resize it and return it to the browser as a JPEG image.

In addition to the Images API, you can also use the transforms provided in the Python Imaging Library (PIL) in your Python 2.7 app. You simply declare the library in the libraries section of the app.yaml file. However, if you wish to use PIL in your local environment (using the development server) you must also download and install PIL or pillow locally.

Available image transformations

The Images service can resize, rotate, flip, and crop images, and enhance photographs. It can also composite multiple images into a single image.

Resize

You can resize the image while maintaining the same aspect ratio. Neither the width nor the height of the resized image can exceed 4000 pixels.

Rotate

You can rotate the image in 90 degree increments.

Flip horizontally

You can flip the image horizontally.

Flip vertically

You can flip the image vertically.

Crop

You can crop the image with a given bounding box.

I'm Feeling Lucky

The "I'm Feeling Lucky" transform enhances dark and bright colors in an image and adjusts both color and optimizes contrast.

Image formats

The service accepts image data in the JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF (including animated GIF), BMP, TIFF and ICO formats. Transformed images can be returned in the JPEG, WEBP and PNG formats.

If the input format and the output format are different, the service converts the input data to the output format before performing the transformation.

Note: The Images service does not support multilayer TIFF images. Transforming images

The Images service can use a value from Google Cloud Storage or Blobstore as the image source for a transformation. You have two ways to transform images:

  1. Using the Image() class allows you to perform simple image transformations, such as crop, flip, and rotate.
  2. Using get_serving_url() allows you to dynamically resize and crop images, so you don't need to store different image sizes on the server. This method returns a URL that serves the image, and transformations to the image are encoded in this URL. This function assumes that the image doesn't change; if it gets modified after you get the URL, you may get unexpected results from using the URL.
Using the Image() Class

You can transform images from Cloud Storage or Blobstore if the image size is smaller than the maximum allowed by Cloud Storage or Blobstore. Note that the result of the transformation is returned directly to the app, and must not exceed the API response limit of 32 megabytes.

To transform an image from Cloud Storage or Blobstore in Python 2, instead of setting the image_data argument of the Image constructor with the image data, set the blob_key argument to the Blobstore key whose value is the image. The rest of the API behaves as expected. The execute_transforms() method returns the result of the transforms, or throws an LargeImageError if the result is larger than the maximum size of 32 megabytes.

Using get_serving_url()

In addition to the Images API, you can also use the transforms provided in the Python Imaging Library (PIL) in your Python 2.7 app. To do this, declare the library in the

libraries

section of the

app.yaml

file.

To use PIL in the development server, download and install PIL or pillow locally.

The get_serving_url() method allows you to generate a fixed, dedicated URL for an image that is stored in Cloud Storage or Blobstore. For example:

The generated URL uses highly-optimized image serving infrastructure that is separate from your application. As the image is served independently from your app, it does not generate load and can be highly cost effective. The URL returned by this method is always publicly accessible but not guessable.

If you wish to stop serving the URL, delete it using the delete_serving_url() function.

The method returns a URL encoded with the specified size and crop arguments. If you do not specify any arguments, the method returns the default URL for the image, for example:

http://lhx.ggpht.com/randomStringImageId

You can resize and crop the image dynamically by specifying the arguments in the URL. The available arguments are:

Important: Only the resize and crop arguments listed above are supported. Using any other arguments might result in breaking failures.
# Resize the image to 32 pixels (aspect-ratio preserved)
http://lhx.ggpht.com/randomStringImageId=s32

# Crop the image to 32 pixels
http://lhx.ggpht.com/randomStringImageId=s32-c
Images and the development server

The development server uses your local machine to perform the capabilities of the Images service.

The Python development server uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to simulate the Image service. This library is not included with the Python standard library or the SDK, and must be installed separately. The pillow fork also works. The WEBP image format is only supported if a suitable PIL decoder plugin has been installed.

A note about deletion

To stop serving an image stored in Cloud Storage or Blobstore call the delete_serving_url() function.

You should avoid directly deleting images in Cloud Storage or Blobstore as doing so can leave them accessible through the serving URL.

Serving URLs will stop working if the application that created them is disabled or deleted, even if the underlying image remains available.

Quotas, limits, and pricing

There is currently no additional charge incurred by using the Images API. See the App Engine pricing page.

Each Images API request counts toward the Image Manipulation API Calls quota. An app can perform multiple transformations of an image in a single API call.

Data sent to the Images service counts toward the Data Sent to (Images) API quota. Data received from the Images service counts toward the Data Received from (Images) API quota.

Each transformation of an image counts toward the Transformations Executed quota.

For more information, see Quotas. You can see the current quota usage of your app by visiting the Google Cloud console Quota Details tab.

In addition to quotas, the following limits apply to the use of the Images service:

Limit Amount maximum data size of image sent to service 32 megabytes maximum data size of image received from service 32 megabytes maximum size of image sent or received from service 50 megapixels
