Embedding Bitmaps and Images

from ironpdf import *
import base64

# Instantiate Renderer
renderer = ChromePdfRenderer()

# Example 1: From an Image File or Bytes
with open(".\icons\iron.png", "rb") as f:
    pngBinaryData = f.read()
    imgDataUri = "data:image/png;base64," + base64.b64encode(pngBinaryData).decode("utf-8")
    imgHtml = f"<img src='{imgDataUri}'>"

pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(imgHtml)
pdf.SaveAs("embedded_example_1.pdf")

Embedding Bitmaps and Images

IronPDF for Python can convert raw image byte content into PDFs.

After reading the byte stream from the data source (such as a database, a network connection, or a file), decode it into a character string and build an HTML string that includes it as a base64-encoded src attribute for an img element:

Afterward, call the RenderHtmlAsPdf method with the HTML string as the argument!

The power of IronPDF lies in its use of HTML as a design language. Get your media into something that represents valid HTML, and let IronPDF take care of the rest for you.
