Überzug is a command line util which draws images on terminals by using child windows. The advantages of using Überzug are:

• No race conditions as a new window is created to display images.

• Expose events will be processed, so images will be redrawn on switch workspaces.

• Tmux support (excluding multi pane windows).

• Terminals without the WINDOWID environment variable are supported.

• Chars are used as position - and size unit.

• No memory leak (/ unlimited cache).

Quick Image Viewer is a small and fast GDK/Imlib2 image viewer. Features include zoom, maxpect, scale down, fullscreen, slideshow, delete, brightness/contrast/gamma correction, pan with keyboard and mouse, flip, rotate left/right, jump/forward/backward images, filename filter and use it to set X desktop background.

Libpng is the official PNG (Portable Network Graphics) reference library. It supports almost all PNG features and is extensible.

JBIG2 is designed for lossy or lossless encoding of bilevel (1-bit monochrome) images at moderately high resolution, and in particular scanned paper documents. In this domain it is very efficient, offering compression ratios on the order of 100:1.

This is a decoder only implementation, and currently is in the alpha stage, meaning it doesn't completely work yet. However, it is maintaining parity with available encoders, so it is useful for real work.

Giblib is a simple library which wraps imlib2's context API, avoiding all the context_get/set calls, adds fontstyles to the truetype renderer and supplies a generic doubly-linked list and some string functions.

This package contains a reference implementation of JPEG XL (encoder and decoder).

MyPaint is a simple drawing and painting program that works well with Wacom-style graphics tablets.

Steghide is a program to `hide' data in various kinds of image and audio files. This practice is known as steganography, but the method used by steghide is not very secure and should not be used where security is at stake. Even if a password is used, steghide offers little plausible deniability.

Nonetheless, neither color nor sample frequencies are changed, making the embedding resistant against first-order statistical tests not aimed specifically at this tool.

GIFLIB is a library for reading and writing GIF images. It is API and ABI compatible with libungif which was in wide use while the LZW compression algorithm was patented. Tools are also included to convert, manipulate, compose, and analyze GIF images.

Slurp can select a region in a Wayland compositor and print it to the standard output. It works well together with grim.

Icoutils are a set of program for extracting and converting bitmaps from Microsoft Windows icon and cursor files. These files usually have the extension .ico or .cur, but they can also be embedded in executables and libraries (.dll-files). (Such embedded files are referred to as resources.)

Conversion of these files to and from PNG images is done icotool. extresso automates these tasks with the help of special resource scripts. Resources such can be extracted from MS Windows executable and library files with wrestool.

This package can be used to create favicon.ico files for web sites.

Phockup is a media sorting tool that uses creation date and time information in photos and videos to organize them into folders by year, month and day. All files which are not images or videos or those which do not have creation date information will be placed in a folder called unknown.

A pretty small png library. Currently all documentation resides in pnglite.h.

LodePNG is a PNG image decoder and encoder, all in one, no dependency or linkage required. It's made for C (ISO C90), and has a C++ wrapper with a more convenient interface on top.

libimagequant is a small, portable C library for high-quality conversion of RGBA images to 8-bit indexed-color (palette) images. This library can significantly reduces file sizes and powers pngquant and other PNG optimizers.

JBIG-KIT implements the JBIG1 data compression standard (ITU-T T.82 and ISO/IEC 11544:1993), designed for bi-level (one bit per pixel) images such as black-and-white scanned documents. It is widely used in fax products, printer firmware and drivers, document management systems, and imaging software.

This package provides a static C library of (de)compression functions and some simple command-line converters similar to those provided by netpbm.

Two JBIG1 variants are available. One (jbig.c) implements nearly all options of the standard but has to keep the full uncompressed image in memory. The other (jbig85.c) implements just the ITU-T T.85 profile, with memory management optimized for embedded and fax applications. It buffers only a few lines of the uncompressed image in memory and is able to stream images of initially unknown height.

Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata. It provides fast and easy read and write access to the Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata of images in various formats.

Imlib2 is a library that does image file loading and saving as well as rendering, manipulation, arbitrary polygon support, etc.

It does ALL of these operations FAST. Imlib2 also tries to be highly intelligent about doing them, so writing naive programs can be done easily, without sacrificing speed.

This is a complete rewrite over the Imlib 1.x series. The architecture is more modular, simple, and flexible.

OpenJPEG-Data contains all files required to run the openjpeg test suite, including conformance tests (following Rec. ITU-T T.803 | ISO/IEC 15444-4 procedures), non-regression tests and unit tests.

Nifti_clib is a set of I/O libraries for reading and writing files in the nifti-1, nifti-2, and (to some degree) cifti file formats. These are binary file formats for storing medical image data, e.g. MRI and fMRI brain images.

FreeImage is a library for developers who would like to support popular graphics image formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF and others.

OpenJPEG is an implementation of JPEG 2000 codec written in C language. It has been developed in order to promote the use of JPEG 2000, a still-image compression standard from the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). Since April 2015, it is officially recognized by ISO/IEC and ITU-T as a JPEG 2000 Reference Software.

Mtpaint is a graphic editing program which uses the GTK+ toolkit. It can create and edit indexed palette or 24bit RGB images, offers basic painting and palette manipulation tools. It also handles JPEG, JPEG2000, GIF, TIFF, WEBP, BMP, PNG, XPM formats.

libspng is a simple C library for loading Portable Network Graphics (PNGs), intended as an easy-to-use replacement for libpng.
