Python API to Convert HTML to Image

We use the Aspose.Words for Python API to convert HTML to image formats. It provides full document handling, conversion, rendering, and printing for Word, PDF, and web documents.

Please install the API from PyPI using the following pip command in the console:

> pip install aspose-words

Info: If you already have Aspose.Slides for Python, you can use this API to convert HTML to image, convert HTML to PDF, convert HTML to PPT, convert HTML to JPG, convert HTML to XML, and convert HTML to TIFF. Similarly, it allows you to import HTML from PPT, get it from PDF, etc.

Convert HTML to JPG Image in Python

We can easily convert HTML documents to JPG images by following these steps:

  1. Load the HTML file using the Document class.
  2. Optionally, specify image save options with the ImageSaveOptions class.
  3. Loop through all pages in the document.
  4. Extract each page using the extract_pages() method.
  5. Save each page as JPG using the save() method.

The following code sample shows how to convert HTML to JPG images in Python.
