AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'ANTIALIAS'

[ArtDoctor]

When I try to use easyocr on any image, I get this error:
AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'ANTIALIAS'

According to (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76616042/attributeerror-module-pil-image-has-no-attribute-antialias), new version of PIL (10.0.0) has no ANTIALIAS, as it's deprecated.

Full error:

Some update: downgrading Pillow to 9.5.0 fixes this issue, but I think it will be a good idea to also change the ANTIALIAS parameter in the easyocr\utils.py too.

I met the same error just now, now i ll try your method

[Rockyisnoteasy]

It works，very thanks

[SabahatAnsari]

Same issue. Can you please provide how to change the ANTIALIAS parameter in the easyocr\utils.py

[ArtDoctor]

I think, it's easier for you to just reinstall the PIL package. Try running this in the console/terminal:
pip install --force-reinstall -v "Pillow==9.5.0"
After this it should work.

This works thanks I've got the issue right now but it would be great to make it compatible with newer versions.
It seems like PIL.Image.LANCZOS or PIL.Image.Resampling.LANCZOS need to be used to achieve the same thing.

Thank You

pip install --force-reinstall -v "Pillow==9.5.0"

It works for me. Thanks

Use PILOW==9.5.0 as workaround. That worked for me.

Thankyou. Currently using Pillow 10.0.0. Then downgrade. It's work.

you just saved my life thank you

Having the same issue. I'll give the PIL older version a try. I agree that easyocr should be adjusted for newer PIL versions. Or at least give people a heads up at installation documentation.

[archywillhe]

This issue is fixed in the master branch.
You can install the master branch via:
pip install git+https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR.git

[davidearlyoung]

Back installing worked for me. As well as installing from the the git master as archywillh mentioned worked for me as well. Thank you archywillhe for that info by the way. Additional question. If you don't mind me asking so I can better assist myself in the future, where did you find the info that the master branch had a fix for this?

Pillow to 9.5.0

working with me,thanks you

I've had this problem for a long time, thanks for your help

When forced to find another solution, this also worked for me:

import PIL
PIL.Image.ANTIALIAS = PIL.Image.LANCZOS

Insert before the call to easyocr's readtext() (or other) method.

Much better than downgrading PIL. Thank you!

Its a good idea!!!

[pranith7]

Hey @patrickmappedin,
I have tried both the approaches
a. Downgrading pillow
b. PIL.Image.ANTIALIAS = PIL.Image.LANCZOS

but i am getting error like Illegal instruction
You can read my post for more info
