The libUEMF library is a portable C99 implementation for reading and writing WFM, EMF, and EMF+ files.

libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that accelerates baseline JPEG compression and decompression using SIMD instructions: MMX on x86, SSE2 on x86-64, NEON on ARM, and AltiVec on PowerPC processors. Even on other systems, its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines allow it to outperform libjpeg by a significant amount. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API and the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API, and provides a full-featured Java interface. It supports color space extensions that allow it to compress from and decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.).

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.

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.

GGG (Guile Glyph Generator) is a command-line utility that allows you to generate pretty images/badges which can be used for your projects, announcing tech used, sponsoring and appreciating other projects, distinguishing versions of things supported, etc.

GGG is highly configurable, reads Scheme files where you define your tasks, and supports badges between one and three parts. It leverages SVG generation from Lisp and S-expressions, building pixel perfect badges.

Libicns is a library for the manipulation of Mac OS IconFamily resource type files (ICNS). icns2png and png2icns are provided to convert between PNG and ICNS. icns2png will extract image files from ICNS files under names like "Foo_48x48x32.png" useful for installing for use with .desktop files. Additionally, icontainer2png is provided for extracting icontainer icon files.

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.

Picket is a screen color picker that includes a magnifier and supports custom formats for representing color values..

Jp2a is a small utility that converts JPEG images to ASCII.

VIGRA stands for Vision with Generic Algorithms. It is an image processing and analysis library that puts its main emphasis on customizable algorithms and data structures. It is particularly strong for multi-dimensional image processing.

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

Developer's Image Library (DevIL) is a library to develop applications with support for many types of images. DevIL can load, save, convert, manipulate, filter and display a wide variety of image formats.

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.

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

Flameshot is a screenshot program. Features:

• Customizable appearance.

• Easy to use.

• In-app screenshot edition.

• DBus interface.

• Upload to Imgur.

libungif is the old GIF decompression library by the GIFLIB project.

WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG images at equivalent SSIM index. WebP supports lossless transparency (also known as alpha channel) with just 22% additional bytes. Transparency is also supported with lossy compression and typically provides 3x smaller file sizes compared to PNG when lossy compression is acceptable for the red/green/blue color channels.

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.

Pngcrush optimizes PNG images. It can further losslessly compress them by as much as 40%.

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

The JasPer Project is an initiative to provide a reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard (i.e., ISO/IEC 15444-1).

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.

Zimg implements the commonly required image processing basics of scaling, colorspace conversion, and depth conversion. A simple API enables conversion between any supported formats to operate with minimal knowledge from the programmer.
