Try to install pillow in your virtual environment!

cmd:

workon [your virtual env]
pip install Pillow

if this does not work try this:

pip uninstall Pillow
pip install Pillow==5.0.0

  • It gives error on installing: RuntimeWaring: Pillow does not yet support Python 3.8 and does not yet provide prebuilt Windows binaries. We do not recommend building from source on Windows. – Pancham Jain Sep 23 '20 at 09:22
  • python -m pip install --upgrade pip python -m pip install --upgrade pillow – HermanTheGerman Sep 23 '20 at 09:23
  • Successfully installed but giving same error when trying migrations – Pancham Jain Sep 23 '20 at 09:31
  • You mean, if you manage.py makemigrations, you get this error: "products.Product.img: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed" ? Can you share your virtual env with us? -pip freeze – HermanTheGerman Sep 23 '20 at 09:35

I think I will be able able to answer this.
My system info are follows:

  • Windows 10
  • Django version 3.2
  • Python version 3.7

I found on the Pillow documentation that the tested Pillow version is 7.1.0
You can read here.
for this, you need to launch cmd or anaconda prompt and type

pip uninstall Pillow
pip install Pillow==7.1.0
