Image

An image is a graphic representation of something (e.g photo or illustration).

Examples​

Live example

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.title = "Images Example"
    page.theme_mode = ft.ThemeMode.LIGHT
    page.padding = 50
    page.update()

    img = ft.Image(
        src=f"/icons/icon-512.png",
        width=100,
        height=100,
        fit=ft.ImageFit.CONTAIN,
    )
    images = ft.Row(expand=1, wrap=False, scroll="always")

    page.add(img, images)

    for i in range(0, 30):
        images.controls.append(
            ft.Image(
                src=f"https://picsum.photos/200/200?{i}",
                width=200,
                height=200,
                fit=ft.ImageFit.NONE,
                repeat=ft.ImageRepeat.NO_REPEAT,
                border_radius=ft.border_radius.all(10),
            )
        )
    page.update()

ft.app(main)

Properties​

border_radius​

Clip image to have rounded corners. Border radius is an instance of BorderRadius class.

color​

If set, this color is blended with each image pixel using color_blend_mode.

color_blend_mode​

Used to combine color with the image. In terms of the blend mode, color is the source and this image is the destination.

Value is of type BlendMode and defaults to BlendMode.COLOR.

error_content​

Fallback Control to display if the image cannot be loaded from the source.

exclude_from_semantics​

Whether to exclude this image from semantics.

Defaults to False.

filter_quality​

The rendering quality of the image.

Value is of type FilterQuality and defaults to FilterQuality.MEDIUM.

fit​

How to inscribe the image into the space allocated during layout.

Value is of type ImageFit and defaults to ImageFit.NONE.

gapless_playback​

Whether to continue showing the old image (True), or briefly show nothing (False), when the image provider changes.

Defaults to False.

height​

If set, require the image to have this height.

If not set, the image will pick a size that best preserves its intrinsic aspect ratio.

note

It is strongly recommended that either both the width and the height be specified, or that the Image be placed in a context that sets tight layout constraints, so that the image does not change size as it loads. Consider using fit to adapt the image's rendering to fit the given width and height if the exact image dimensions are not known in advance.

semantics_label​

A semantic description of the image. Used to provide a description of the image to TalkBack on Android, and VoiceOver on iOS.

src​

The image source. This could be an external URL or a local asset file.

src_base64​

Displays an image from Base-64 encoded string, for example:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(ft.Image(src_base64="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"))

ft.app(main)

Use base64 command (Linux, macOS, WSL) to convert file to Base64 format, for example:

base64 -i <image.png> -o <image-base64.txt>

On Windows you can use PowerShell to encode string into Base64 format:

[convert]::ToBase64String((Get-Content -path "your_file_path" -Encoding byte))

repeat​

How to paint any portions of the layout bounds not covered by the image.

Values is of type ImageRepeat and defaults to ImageRepeat.NO_REPEAT.

semantics_label​

A semantics label for this image.

tooltip​

The text displayed when hovering a mouse over the Image.

width​

If set, require the image to have this width.

If not set, the image will pick a size that best preserves its intrinsic aspect ratio.

note

It is strongly recommended that either both the width and the height be specified, or that the Image be placed in a context that sets tight layout constraints, so that the image does not change size as it loads. Consider using fit to adapt the image's rendering to fit the given width and height if the exact image dimensions are not known in advance.
