images_folder property

HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder property

Specifies the physical folder where images are saved when exporting a document to HTML format. Default is an empty string.

@property
def images_folder(self) -> str:
    ...

@images_folder.setter
def images_folder(self, value: str):
    ...

Remarks

When you save a Document in HTML format, Aspose.Words needs to save all images embedded in the document as standalone files. HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder allows you to specify where the images will be saved and HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder_alias allows to specify how the image URIs will be constructed.

If you save a document into a file and provide a file name, Aspose.Words, by default, saves the images in the same folder where the document file is saved. Use HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder to override this behavior.

If you save a document into a stream, Aspose.Words does not have a folder where to save the images, but still needs to save the images somewhere. In this case, you need to specify an accessible folder in the HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder property or provide custom streams via the HtmlSaveOptions.image_saving_callback event handler.

If the folder specified by HtmlSaveOptions.images_folder doesn’t exist, it will be created automatically.

HtmlSaveOptions.resource_folder is another way to specify a folder where images should be saved.

Examples

Shows how to specify the folder for storing linked images after saving to .html.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + "Rendering.docx")

images_dir = os.path.join(ARTIFACTS_DIR, "SaveHtmlWithOptions")

if os.path.exists(images_dir):
    shutil.rmtree(images_dir)

os.makedirs(images_dir)

# Set an option to export form fields as plain text instead of HTML input elements.
options = aw.saving.HtmlSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.HTML)
options.export_text_input_form_field_as_text = True
options.images_folder = images_dir

doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "HtmlSaveOptions.image_folder.html", options)
