/ `Pillow <https://python-pillow.org/>`__.

olefile is mostly meant for developers. If you are looking for tools to
analyze OLE files or to extract data (especially for security purposes
such as malware analysis and forensics), then please also check my
`python-oletools <https://www.decalage.info/python/oletools>`__, which
are built upon olefile and provide a higher-level interface.
