Is it possible to extract an image's information from an xls spreadsheet using Apache POI?
In one of my projects, I need to read some images from a .xls file. I can read all images together, but how can I get images position (like columns and rows number or coordinates)? Otherwise I can get images position but I can't know information, like picture name or extension or others, about a specific image at the positions found. How I can get images and positions too?
Here read all images... and here get images positions...
Have a look here:
http://poi.apache.org/components/spreadsheet/quick-guide.html#Images
Sample:
List lst = workbook.getAllPictures();
for (Iterator it = lst.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
PictureData pict = (PictureData)it.next();
String ext = pict.suggestFileExtension();
byte[] data = pict.getData();
if (ext.equals("jpeg")) {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("pict.jpg");
out.write(data);
out.close();
}
}
After this, you can use tools like ImageInfo which extends Magick to find out various configs. Yo can even convert images to different sizes.
Take a look at this class as well:

-- Hope this helps
I hope this code will help)
XSSFDrawing dp = workbook.getSheetAt(1).createDrawingPatriarch();
List<XSSFShape> pics = dp.getShapes();
XSSFPicture inpPic = (XSSFPicture)pics.get(0);
XSSFClientAnchor clientAnchor = inpPic.getClientAnchor();
inpPic.getShapeName(); // узнаю название картинки
PictureData pict = inpPic.getPictureData();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("pict.jpg");
byte[] data = pict.getData();
out.write(data);
out.close();
System.out.println("col1: " + clientAnchor.getCol1() + ", col2: " + clientAnchor.getCol2() + ", row1: " + clientAnchor.getRow1() + ", row2: " + clientAnchor.getRow2());
System.out.println("x1: " + clientAnchor.getDx1() + ", x2: " + clientAnchor.getDx2() + ", y1: " + clientAnchor.getDy1() + ", y2: " + clientAnchor.getDy2());
And if you don`t want to use iterator (cause some times they are heavy)
public List readDrawing(Workbook workbook) throws Exception {
List list = workbook.getAllPictures();
for (int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) {
PictureData picture = (PictureData) list.get(i);
String ext = picture.suggestFileExtension();
byte[] data = picture.getData();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("imageName" + "." + ext);
out.write(data);
out.close();
}
return list;
}
