Online MHTML Converter

You can test the API functionality and convert MHTML in real-time. Load an MHTML file from your local file system, select the output format and run the example. The conversion will be performed with default save options. You will immediately receive the result as a separate file.

If you want to convert MHTML to image formats programmatically, please see the following Python code example.

Convert MHTML to JPG using ImageSaveOptions

The convert_mhtml() methods of the Converter class are primarily used as the easiest way to convert an MHTML file into various formats. To convert MHTML to JPG with ImageSaveOptions specifying, you should follow a few steps:

1. Open an existing MHTML file.
2. Create a new ImageSaveOptions object with JPEG ImageFormat. By default, the format property is PNG. The ImageSaveOptions class provides numerous properties that give you full control over a wide range of parameters and improve the process of converting MHTML to JPG.
3. Use the convert_mhtml() method of the Converter class to save MHTML as a JPG image. This method takes the stream, options, output file path save_path and performs the conversion operation.

The following Python code snippet shows how to convert MHTML to JPG using custom save options:

import os
from aspose.html import *
from aspose.html.converters import *
from aspose.html.saving import *
from aspose.html.drawing import *
from aspose.pydrawing 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, "document.mht")
save_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "mhtml-to-jpeg.jpeg")

# Open an existing MHTML 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.SCREEN
    options.text.text_rendering_hint = text.TextRenderingHint.CLEAR_TYPE_GRID_FIT

    # Convert MHTML to JPG
    Converter.convert_mhtml(stream, options, save_path)

In the example, we use:

• format property to specify the output image format;
• horizontal_resolution and vertical_resolution properties to set resolution for output image in pixels per inch;
• css.media_type property that specify how CSS media queries are handled during the conversion process;
• text_rendering_hint property that controls the quality and method of text rendering during conversions. For instance, setting it to TextRenderingHint.CLEAR_TYPE_GRID_FIT enhances the readability of text by using ClearType technology, which improves the smoothness and sharpness of text on screens.

Save Options – ImageSaveOptions Class

The ImageSaveOptions class in Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET offers extensive customization options for converting MHTML 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 format property lets you specify the output image format, such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF, with PNG as the default.
• The page_setup property enables precise control over the page layout, including size and margins, for optimal content placement.
• 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.
• The text property offers configurations for text rendering, ensuring clear and accurate text output in the converted images.
