Convert RGBA to RGB in Python

What is the simplest and fastest way to convert an RGBA image in RGB using PIL? I just need to remove the A channel from some images.

I can't find a simple method to do this, I don't need to take background into consideration.

Solution

  • You probably want to use an image's convert method:

    import PIL.Image


rgba_image = PIL.Image.open(path_to_image)
rgb_image = rgba_image.convert('RGB')
