JPEG XR is an approved ISO/IEC International standard (its official designation is ISO/IEC 29199-2). This library is an implementation of that standard.

IQA is a C library for objectively measuring image/video quality. It implements many popular algorithms, such as MS-SSIM, MS-SSIM*, SIMM, MSE, and PSNR. It is designed to be fast, accurate, and reliable. All code is Valgrind-clean and unit tested.

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.

libyuv is an open source project that includes YUV scaling and conversion functionality. It can:

• Scale YUV to prepare content for compression, with point, bilinear or box filter.

• Convert to YUV from webcam formats for compression.

• Convert to RGB formats for rendering/effects.

• Rotate by 90/180/270 degrees to adjust for mobile devices in portrait mode.

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.

jhead is a simple command line tool for display and manipulate EXIF header data embedded in JPEG images.

Libiptcdata is a C library for manipulating the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata stored within multimedia files such as images. This metadata can include captions and keywords, often used by popular photo management applications. The library provides routines for parsing, viewing, modifying, and saving this metadata.

LibSIXEL is a an encoder/decoder implementation for DEC SIXEL graphics, and some converter programs. SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging introduced by DEC. Its data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence. So if you want to view a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is cat it to your terminal.

OpenJPH is an implementation of HTJ2K, also known as JPH, JPEG2000 Part 15, ISO/IEC 15444-15, and ITU-T T.814.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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).

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

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

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.

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

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

Leptonica is a C library and set of command-line tools for efficient image processing and image analysis operations. It supports rasterop, affine transformations, binary and grayscale morphology, rank order, and convolution, seedfill and connected components, image transformations combining changes in scale and pixel depth, and pixelwise masking, blending, enhancement, and arithmetic ops.

Collection of graphics images created to test PNG applications like viewers, converters and editors. As far as that is possible, all formats supported by the PNG standard are represented.

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.
