I am downloading images from an offline system (Google Photos) I can download the files and save them locally that works fine.

However what i am trying to do is download them and turn them into a PIL Image so that i can use them and not have to store them locally first.

Works fine to save a file

    for media_item in media_items:
        image_data_response = authed_session.get(media_item['baseUrl'] + "=w500-h250")
        print(image_data_response)
        with open(media_item['filename'], "wb") as my_file:
            my_file.write(image_data_response.content)
        print(media_item['id'], media_item['filename'])

attempt to create PIL Image

for media_item in media_items:
        width = media_item['mediaMetadata']['width']
        height = media_item['mediaMetadata']['height']
        image_size = (500, 250)  # Width, height
        image_data_response = authed_session.get(media_item['baseUrl'] + "=w500-h250")

        test = Image.frombytes(mode="RGBA", size=image_size, data=image_data_response.content, decoder_name="raw")            
        result.append(test)

My error

No matter what i try i keep getting

ValueError: not enough image data

I even tried giving PIL the original size of the image it didn’t help.
