coonvert qrcode.image.pil.PilImage to a PIL.Image.Image

How can I convert a qrcode.image.pil.PilImage to a PIL.Image.Image?

I am using the qr_code lib in combination with the pillow lib and customtkinter...

I tried to use the generated qr_code image in a CTkImage but I got the error: ValueError: CTkImage: light_image must be instance if PIL.Image.Image, not <class 'qrcode.image.pil.PilImage'>

Solution

  • You can use .get_image() to get the internal PIL image:

    # assume qrcode_img is of type qrcode.image.pil.PilImage
pil_img = qrcode_img.get_image()
# then pil_img is of type PIL.Image.Image
