Hi,

I am going to make a workflow that can read (list of) JPG images from my local hard drive, use photo ids to extract some information and then make an excel file containing the photos and numerical information. I couldn’t find any Knime node that can read JPG files (they are mostly PNG reader)? Do you guys know how to read JPGs?

Cheers!

Hello @naraj ,

here is a small workflow that reads .jpg images. Hope it helps.

You can employ [OpenPyxl](https://hub.knime.com/search?type=all&tag=openpyxl,python&sort=best) for that which is already included in the [bundled Python in KNIME](https://www.knime.com/blog/how-to-setup-the-python-extension).
