Save Options – ImageSaveOptions Class

The PNG images creation functionality can be enhanced with save options per your needs. Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET allows converting HTML to PNG using default or custom save options. The ImageSaveOptions class offers extensive customization for converting EPUB content into image formats. Here’s a more detailed description of each property of ImageSaveOptions:

format – This property determines the format of the output image. The supported formats include common image formats like PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF. The default format is PNG, but you can specify others based on your requirements.
page_setup – You can configure the page layout settings for the output image. This includes specifying the page size and margins (top, bottom, left, right) to control the placement and display of HTML content within the image.
background_color – This property allows you to set the background color for the rendered output. If not set, the default background is transparent.
css – This property, represented by CssOptions, allows configuring how CSS properties are processed during the HTML to image conversion.
horizontal_resolution – This property sets or gets the horizontal resolution (in pixels per inch) for both output and internal images used during processing. Higher resolution usually results in a sharper image but can also increase file size. By default, it is 300 dpi.
vertical_resolution – This property sets or gets the vertical resolution for internal images in pixels per inch. By default, it is 300 dpi.
smoothing_mode – This property controls the quality of graphics rendering during conversion. It affects how images are rendered, which is especially useful for anti-aliasing and achieving smooth and visually appealing output. Options typically include settings for high-quality rendering, which can be critical for professional and presentation-grade images.
compression – The compression option allows you to set the compression method for TIFF output. Supported options: LZW, CCITT3, CCITT4, RLE, and NONE. Compression helps reduce file size while maintaining image quality, which is especially important for TIFF files used for high-quality archiving and printing of images.
text – This property provides configurations for text rendering during HTML to image conversion.
