What did you do?

from PIL import Image
import io


image_1 = '/Users/fangzidong/git_repo/mmwrastra/debug_data/debug_gif_img/no_palette.gif'


with open(image_1, 'rb') as f:
    image_bytes = f.read()
image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_bytes))
image.show()

What actually happened?

I got this error when i opening this image:

@quaeast Why not just call Image.open ?

Python 3.12.9 (main, Mar 23 2025, 16:34:48) [Clang 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.6)] on darwin

>>> from PIL import Image

>>> img.palette

@aclark4life I tried to open it in this way, and it will return the same error. The key of this error is this image has a palette, but pillow tells me it does not have.

And I also tried to convert this image to ndarray frame by frame, but when it turns to the 9th frame, it will return ValueError: image has no palette. I checked the bytes of this gif, and i confirm this gif's every frame has a palette. I think may be it is because that some frames of this image is gray scale image and pillow convert it to L mode. This error may similar to this issue #6084

from PIL import Image

image = Image.open('435668030-8d16446a-4b29-4a0f-9249-52edfa1532c1.gif')

frames = []
try:
    while True:
        print(len(frames))
        frame = image.copy()
        frames.append(frame)
        image.seek(image.tell() + 1)

I can reproduce, but not sure if this is a Pillow bug.
