Convert EPUB to JPG

To convert EPUB to JPG using ImageSaveOptions, you should follow a few steps:

1. Open an existing EPUB file. In the example, we use the open() method to open and read an EPUB file from the file system at the specified path.
2. Create a new ImageSaveOptions object with JPEG image format. By default, the format property is PNG. Here, you can set the required save options, such as page setup or resolution.
3. Use one of the convert_epub() methods of the Converter class to convert EPUB to JPG. In the following example, you need to pass the EPUB file stream, ImageSaveOptions, and output file path to the convert_epub() method.

Look at the following Python code snippet that shows how to convert EPUB to JPG with custom save options using Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET.

import os
from aspose.html.converters import *
from aspose.html.saving import *
from aspose.html.drawing import *

# Setup directories and define paths
output_dir = "output/"
input_dir = "data/"
if not os.path.exists(output_dir):
    os.makedirs(output_dir)
document_path = os.path.join(input_dir, "input.epub")
save_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "epub-to-image.jpeg")

# Open an existing EPUB file for reading
with open(document_path, "rb") as stream:

    # Create an instance of ImageSaveOptions
    options = ImageSaveOptions()
    options.format.JPEG
    options.horizontal_resolution = Resolution.from_dots_per_inch(200.0)
    options.vertical_resolution = Resolution.from_dots_per_inch(200.0)
    options.css.media_type.PRINT

    # Convert EPUB to JPG
    Converter.convert_epub(stream, options, save_path)

Save Options – ImageSaveOptions Class

The ImageSaveOptions class in Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET offers extensive customization options for converting EPUB content to various image formats, ensuring high-quality output tailored to your needs. Here’s a more detailed description of each property of ImageSaveOptions:

• The background_color property sets the background color, with transparency as the default.
• The css property, managed through CssOptions, dictates how CSS properties are handled during conversion.
• The horizontal_resolution and vertical_resolution properties, defaulting to 300 dpi, define the pixel resolution per inch for internal and output images, enhancing image sharpness.
• The smoothing_mode property adjusts graphics rendering quality, which is crucial for achieving smooth, professional-grade images.
• The compression property specifies the compression method for TIFF files, supporting options like LZW, CCITT3, CCITT4, RLE, and NONE, which helps balance file size and image quality.
