Welcome folks today in this tutorial we will be inserting image in text editor using QTextEdit Widget in PyQt5 library in python. All the full source code of the application will be given below.

Get Started

In order to get started we need to install the following library into your python project by using the pip command

pip install pyqt5

After you install this library make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QTextEdit
from PyQt5.QtGui import QTextCursor

class AppDemo(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resize(1200, 800)

        mainLayout = QVBoxLayout()

        self.textEditor = QTextEdit()
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.textEditor)

        document = self.textEditor.document()
        cursor = QTextCursor(document)

        p1 = cursor.position() # returns int
        cursor.insertImage('profile.jpg')

        self.setLayout(mainLayout)
        

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    demo = AppDemo()
    demo.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Here you need to give the full path of the image that you are inserting and then run the python script by executing the below command

python app.py

As you can see the image is successfully inserted along side with text inside the notepad text editor
