Convert EPUB to Images with Aspose.HTML for Java

If you’re looking to convert EPUB files into images in Java, Aspose.HTML for Java is a powerful tool that can streamline the process. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, from installation to converting your EPUB files into image files. We’ll also provide you with prerequisites and introduce the necessary packages.

Prerequisites

Before you get started with the conversion, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Java Development Kit (JDK): You should have Java SE Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system. You can download it from here.

• Aspose.HTML for Java: You need to have the Aspose.HTML for Java library. If you haven’t already, you can get it here.

• EPUB File: Prepare the EPUB file you want to convert to images.

Import Packages

In your Java project, you’ll need to import the necessary packages from Aspose.HTML for Java. Make sure to include these in your code.

import com.aspose.html.converters.Converter;
import com.aspose.html.saving.ImageSaveOptions;
import com.aspose.html.rendering.image.ImageFormat;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s break down the process of converting an EPUB file to images using Aspose.HTML for Java into multiple steps:

Step 1: Open the EPUB File

You’ll begin by opening an existing EPUB file for reading using a FileInputStream.

try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("input.epub")) {

Step 2: Create a Memory Stream Provider

Next, create an instance of MemoryStreamProvider to facilitate the conversion.

try (MemoryStreamProvider streamProvider = new MemoryStreamProvider()) {

Step 3: Convert EPUB to Image

Now, it’s time to perform the actual conversion of the EPUB file to images. Use the Converter.convertEPUB method for this purpose, specifying the output format as JPEG.

Converter.convertEPUB(
    fileInputStream,
    new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Jpeg),
    streamProvider.getStream()
);

Step 4: Access the Resulted Data

After the conversion, you can access the memory streams containing the resulted image data. Loop through these streams to process the images.

int size = streamProvider.getStream().size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    InputStream inputStream = streamProvider.getStream().get(i);

    // Flush the page to the output file
    try (FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("page_" + (i + 1) + ".jpg")) {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[inputStream.available()];
        inputStream.read(buffer);
        fileOutputStream.write(buffer);
    }
}

And that’s it! You’ve successfully converted an EPUB file into images using Aspose.HTML for Java.
