apt-get install unoconv

apt-get install ffmpeg

thumbnail depends on Imagemagick for image manipulation

apt-get install imagemagick

thumbnail also needs curl to be installled

apt-get install curl

To install this package:

pip install thumbnail

How to use

Sample code:

from thumbnail import generate_thumbnail

// generate_thumbnail(input, output, options)

options = {
	'trim': False,
	'height': 300,
	'width': 300,
	'quality': 85,
	'type': 'thumbnail'
}
generate_thumbnail('sample.docx', './thumbnails/thumbnail.png', options)

You need to pass three parameters in generate_thumbnail function.

input: location of the input file. You can see the list of supported files at the end.

output: location of the to be generated thumbnail file. It can be .png, .jpg or .gif

options: It can have five diff parameters. If you don't want to pass any options, pass options as a blank {}

  • trim: Boolean(default = True) It'll automatically trim your file.
  • height: Integer(default = 300) Height of the thumbnail in px.
  • width: Integer(default = 300) Width of the thumbnail in px.
  • quality: Integer(default = 85) Quality of the thumbnail on a scale of 1-100.
  • type: String(default = "thumbnail" It takes two values "thumbnail" or "firstpage" "thumbnail" = 300X300 image of the first page of the document. Height and Width can be changed by providing values in options "firstpage" = snapshot of the document's first page.

Common Issues

ImageMagick no images defined:

  • Open /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml in the editor of your choice
<!-- Find this line(should be in the end of file) -->
<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

unoconv: Cannot find a suitable pyuno library and python binary combination in /usr/lib/libreoffice:

  • Open /usr/bin/unoconv in the editor of your choice
  • Replace #!/usr/bin/env python3 with #!/usr/bin/python3
  • Reference: unoconv/unoconv#405

This package is inspired from npm module filepreview.
