Sending images in a JSON object in Python can be useful for various purposes such as uploading images to a server or sharing images between different applications. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send an image in a JSON object in Python.
Steps:
1. First, we need to import the necessary modules: pillow and json.

from PIL import Image import json |
2. Next, we will open the image file and create a dictionary object with the required fields. In this example, we will include the image’s filename and the base64 encoded image data.

with open("image.jpg", "rb") as image_file: encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8') img_dict = { "filename": "image.jpg", "image_data": encoded_string } |
3. Finally, we will convert the dictionary to a JSON object and send it to the desired destination.
|

json_data = json.dumps(img_dict) #send the data to the server using requests or any other module |
Conclusion:
In this tutorial, we learned how to send an image in a JSON object in Python. It can be a useful technique for transferring and sharing images between different applications. Remember to import the pillow and json modules, create a dictionary object with the image’s filename and base64 encoded data, and convert it to a JSON object before sending it to the desired destination.
