How to Make Thumbnail in Django with Pillow, Hello there, this night i wanna share simply tutorial how to Make Thumbnail image in Django with Pillow.

This example from my last project:

class Buku(models.Model):
    judul = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, unique=True)
    cover = models.ImageField(upload_to='covers', null=True, blank=True)
    thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='covers/thumbnail', editable=False)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Buku, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        if not self.make_thumbnail():
            raise Exception('Could not create thumbnail - is the file type valid?')

    def make_thumbnail(self):
        from cStringIO import StringIO
        import os
        from django.db import models
        from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
        from django.core.files.storage import default_storage as storage
        from PIL import Image

        THUMB_SIZE = (110, 150)

        fh = storage.open(self.cover.name, 'r')
        try:
            image = Image.open(fh)
        except:
            return False

        image.thumbnail(THUMB_SIZE, Image.ANTIALIAS)
        fh.close()

        thumb_name, thumb_extension = os.path.splitext(self.cover.name)
        thumb_extension = thumb_extension.lower()
        thumb_filename = thumb_name + '_thumb' + thumb_extension

        if thumb_extension in ['.jpg', '.jpeg']:
            FTYPE = 'JPEG'
        elif thumb_extension == '.gif':
            FTYPE = 'GIF'
        elif thumb_extension == '.png':
            FTYPE = 'PNG'
        else:
            return False

        temp_thumb = StringIO()
        image.save(temp_thumb, FTYPE)
        temp_thumb.seek(0)
        self.thumbnail.save(thumb_filename, ContentFile(temp_thumb.read()), save=False)
        temp_thumb.close()

        return True
