ImageEditor

gradio.ImageEditor(···)

Description

Creates an image component that, as an input, can be used to upload and edit images using simple editing tools such as brushes, strokes, cropping, and layers. Or, as an output, this component can be used to display images.

Behavior

As input component: Passes the uploaded images as an instance of EditorValue, which is just a dict with keys: 'background', 'layers', and 'composite'. The values corresponding to 'background' and 'composite' are images, while 'layers' is a list of images. The images are of type PIL.Image, np.array, or str filepath, depending on the type parameter.

Your function should accept one of these types:
def predict(
	value: EditorValue | None
)
	...

As output component: Expects a EditorValue, which is just a dictionary with keys: 'background', 'layers', and 'composite'. The values corresponding to 'background' and 'composite' should be images or None, while layers should be a list of images. Images can be of type PIL.Image, np.array, or str filepath/URL. Or, the value can be simply a single image (ImageType), in which case it will be used as the background.

Your function should return one of these types:
def predict(···) -> EditorValue | ImageType | None
	...	
	return value

Initialization

Parameters
🔗 
value: EditorValue | ImageType | None
default = None

Optional initial image(s) to populate the image editor. Should be a dictionary with keys: `background`, `layers`, and `composite`. The values corresponding to `background` and `composite` should be images or None, while `layers` should be a list of images. Images can be of type PIL.Image, np.array, or str filepath/URL. Or, the value can be a callable, in which case the function will be called whenever the app loads to set the initial value of the component.

🔗 
height: int | str | None
default = None

The height of the component, specified in pixels if a number is passed, or in CSS units if a string is passed. This has no effect on the preprocessed image files or numpy arrays, but will affect the displayed images. Beware of conflicting values with the canvas_size parameter. If the canvas_size is larger than the height, the editing canvas will not fit in the component.

🔗 
width: int | str | None
default = None

The width of the component, specified in pixels if a number is passed, or in CSS units if a string is passed. This has no effect on the preprocessed image files or numpy arrays, but will affect the displayed images. Beware of conflicting values with the canvas_size parameter. If the canvas_size is larger than the height, the editing canvas will not fit in the component.

🔗 
image_mode: Literal['1', 'L', 'P', 'RGB', 'RGBA', 'CMYK', 'YCbCr', 'LAB', 'HSV', 'I', 'F']
default = "RGBA"

"RGB" if color, or "L" if black and white. See https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/concepts.html for other supported image modes and their meaning.

🔗 
sources: Iterable[Literal['upload', 'webcam', 'clipboard']] | Literal['upload', 'webcam', 'clipboard'] | None
default = ('upload', 'webcam', 'clipboard')

List of sources that can be used to set the background image. "upload" creates a box where user can drop an image file, "webcam" allows user to take snapshot from their webcam, "clipboard" allows users to paste an image from the clipboard.

🔗 
type: Literal['numpy', 'pil', 'filepath']
default = "numpy"

The format the images are converted to before being passed into the prediction function. "numpy" converts the images to numpy arrays with shape (height, width, 3) and values from 0 to 255, "pil" converts the images to PIL image objects, "filepath" passes images as str filepaths to temporary copies of the images.

🔗 
label: str | I18nData | None
default = None

the label for this component. Appears above the component and is also used as the header if there are a table of examples for this component. If None and used in a `gr.Interface`, the label will be the name of the parameter this component is assigned to.

🔗 
every: Timer | float | None
default = None

Continously calls `value` to recalculate it if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). Can provide a Timer whose tick resets `value`, or a float that provides the regular interval for the reset Timer.

🔗 
inputs: Component | list[Component] | set[Component] | None
default = None

Components that are used as inputs to calculate `value` if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). `value` is recalculated any time the inputs change.

🔗 
show_label: bool | None
default = None

if True, will display label.

🔗 
buttons: list[Literal['download', 'share', 'fullscreen']] | None
default = None

A list of buttons to show in the corner of the component. Valid options are "download" to download the image, "share" to share to Hugging Face Spaces Discussions, and "fullscreen" to view in fullscreen mode. By default, all buttons are shown.

🔗 
container: bool
default = True

If True, will place the component in a container - providing some extra padding around the border.

🔗 
scale: int | None
default = None

relative size compared to adjacent Components. For example if Components A and B are in a Row, and A has scale=2, and B has scale=1, A will be twice as wide as B. Should be an integer. scale applies in Rows, and to top-level Components in Blocks where fill_height=True.

🔗 
min_width: int
default = 160

minimum pixel width, will wrap if not sufficient screen space to satisfy this value. If a certain scale value results in this Component being narrower than min_width, the min_width parameter will be respected first.

🔗 
interactive: bool | None
default = None

if True, will allow users to upload and edit an image; if False, can only be used to display images. If not provided, this is inferred based on whether the component is used as an input or output.

🔗 
visible: bool | Literal['hidden']
default = True

If False, component will be hidden. If "hidden", component will be visually hidden and not take up space in the layout but still exist in the DOM

🔗 
key: int | str | tuple[int | str, ...] | None
default = None

in a gr.render, Components with the same key across re-renders are treated as the same component, not a new component. Properties set in 'preserved_by_key' are not reset across a re-render.

🔗 
preserved_by_key: list[str] | str | None
default = "value"

A list of parameters from this component's constructor. Inside a gr.render() function, if a component is re-rendered with the same key, these (and only these) parameters will be preserved in the UI (if they have been changed by the user or an event listener) instead of re-rendered based on the values provided during constructor.

🔗 
placeholder: str | None
default = None

Custom text for the upload area. Overrides default upload messages when provided. Accepts new lines and `#` to designate a heading.

🔗 
layers: bool | LayerOptions
default = True

The options for the layer tool in the image editor. Can be a boolean or an instance of the `gr.LayerOptions` class. If True, will allow users to add layers to the image. If False, the layers option will be hidden. If an instance of `gr.LayerOptions`, it will be used to configure the layer tool. See `gr.LayerOptions` docs.

🔗 
canvas_size: tuple[int, int]
default = (800, 800)

The initial size of the canvas in pixels. The first value is the width and the second value is the height. If `fixed_canvas` is `True`, uploaded images will be rescaled to fit the canvas size while preserving the aspect ratio. Otherwise, the canvas size will change to match the size of an uploaded image.

🔗 
fixed_canvas: bool
default = False

If True, the canvas size will not change based on the size of the background image and the image will be rescaled to fit (while preserving the aspect ratio) and placed in the center of the canvas.

Event Listeners

Description

Event listeners allow you to respond to user interactions with the UI components you've defined in a Gradio Blocks app. When a user interacts with an element, such as changing a slider value or uploading an image, a function is called.

Supported Event Listeners

The ImageEditor component supports the following event listeners. Each event listener takes the same parameters, which are listed in the Event Parameters table below.

ListenerDescription

ImageEditor.clear(fn, ···)

This listener is triggered when the user clears the ImageEditor using the clear button for the component.

ImageEditor.change(fn, ···)

Triggered when the value of the ImageEditor changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See .input() for a listener that is only triggered by user input.

ImageEditor.input(fn, ···)

This listener is triggered when the user changes the value of the ImageEditor.

ImageEditor.select(fn, ···)

Event listener for when the user selects or deselects the ImageEditor. Uses event data gradio.SelectData to carry value referring to the label of the ImageEditor, and selected to refer to state of the ImageEditor. See EventData documentation on how to use this event data

ImageEditor.upload(fn, ···)

This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the ImageEditor.

ImageEditor.apply(fn, ···)

This listener is triggered when the user applies changes to the ImageEditor through an integrated UI action.

Event Parameters

Parameters
🔗 
fn: Callable | None | Literal['decorator']
default = "decorator"

the function to call when this event is triggered. Often a machine learning model's prediction function. Each parameter of the function corresponds to one input component, and the function should return a single value or a tuple of values, with each element in the tuple corresponding to one output component.

🔗 
inputs: Component | BlockContext | list[Component | BlockContext] | Set[Component | BlockContext] | None
default = None

List of gradio.components to use as inputs. If the function takes no inputs, this should be an empty list.

🔗 
outputs: Component | BlockContext | list[Component | BlockContext] | Set[Component | BlockContext] | None
default = None

List of gradio.components to use as outputs. If the function returns no outputs, this should be an empty list.

🔗 
api_name: str | None
default = None

defines how the endpoint appears in the API docs. Can be a string or None. If set to a string, the endpoint will be exposed in the API docs with the given name. If None (default), the name of the function will be used as the API endpoint.

🔗 
api_description: str | None | Literal[False]
default = None

Description of the API endpoint. Can be a string, None, or False. If set to a string, the endpoint will be exposed in the API docs with the given description. If None, the function's docstring will be used as the API endpoint description. If False, then no description will be displayed in the API docs.

🔗 
scroll_to_output: bool
default = False

If True, will scroll to output component on completion

🔗 
show_progress: Literal['full', 'minimal', 'hidden']
default = "full"

how to show the progress animation while event is running: "full" shows a spinner which covers the output component area as well as a runtime display in the upper right corner, "minimal" only shows the runtime display, "hidden" shows no progress animation at all

🔗 
show_progress_on: Component | list[Component] | None
default = None

Component or list of components to show the progress animation on. If None, will show the progress animation on all of the output components.

🔗 
queue: bool
default = True

If True, will place the request on the queue, if the queue has been enabled. If False, will not put this event on the queue, even if the queue has been enabled. If None, will use the queue setting of the gradio app.

🔗 
batch: bool
default = False

If True, then the function should process a batch of inputs, meaning that it should accept a list of input values for each parameter. The lists should be of equal length (and be up to length `max_batch_size`). The function is then *required* to return a tuple of lists (even if there is only 1 output component), with each list in the tuple corresponding to one output component.

🔗 
max_batch_size: int
default = 4

Maximum number of inputs to batch together if this is called from the queue (only relevant if batch=True)

🔗 
preprocess: bool
default = True

If False, will not run preprocessing of component data before running 'fn' (e.g. leaving it as a base64 string if this method is called with the `Image` component).

🔗 
postprocess: bool
default = True

If False, will not run postprocessing of component data before returning 'fn' output to the browser.

🔗 
cancels: dict[str, Any] | list[dict[str, Any]] | None
default = None

A list of other events to cancel when this listener is triggered. For example, setting cancels=[click_event] will cancel the click_event, where click_event is the return value of another components .click method. Functions that have not yet run (or generators that are iterating) will be cancelled, but functions that are currently running will be allowed to finish.

🔗 
trigger_mode: Literal['once', 'multiple', 'always_last'] | None
default = None

If "once" (default for all events except `.change()`) would not allow any submissions while an event is pending. If set to "multiple", unlimited submissions are allowed while pending, and "always_last" (default for `.change()` and `.key_up()` events) would allow a second submission after the pending event is complete.

🔗 
js: str | Literal[True] | None
default = None

Optional frontend js method to run before running 'fn'. Input arguments for js method are values of 'inputs' and 'outputs', return should be a list of values for output components.

🔗 
concurrency_limit: int | None | Literal['default']
default = "default"

If set, this is the maximum number of this event that can be running simultaneously. Can be set to None to mean no concurrency_limit (any number of this event can be running simultaneously). Set to "default" to use the default concurrency limit (defined by the `default_concurrency_limit` parameter in `Blocks.queue()`, which itself is 1 by default).

🔗 
concurrency_id: str | None
default = None

If set, this is the id of the concurrency group. Events with the same concurrency_id will be limited by the lowest set concurrency_limit.

🔗 
api_visibility: Literal['public', 'private', 'undocumented']

default = None
🔗 
stream_every: float
default = 0.5
🔗 
key: int | str | tuple[int | str, ...] | None
default = None

A unique key for this event listener to be used in @gr.render(). If set, this value identifies an event as identical across re-renders when the key is identical.

🔗 
validator: Callable | None
default = None

Optional validation function to run before the main function. If provided, this function will be executed first with queue=False, and only if it completes successfully will the main function be called. The validator receives the same inputs as the main function and should return a `gr.validate()` for each input value.
