Python-Pillow: How to Show an image in Python

show() is a Pil method that opens and shows an image with your default image viewer. This method helps us show the modification of an image while keeping the original image.

We'll see how to use the show() method with examples in this tutorial.

Syntax

image.show()

The show() method works with no arguments.

show() Example

In the following example, we'll open an image and show it with the show().

from PIL import Image

# Open Image
im = Image.open("py.jpg")

# Show Image
im.show()

Output:

image

Now, let's Rotate the image and show it.

# Open Image
im = Image.open("py.jpg")

# Rotated Image
im = im.rotate(45)

# Show Image
im.show()

Output:

Rotated
