Description

Libjpeg-turbo is an open-source, high performance JPEG image compression library. It was designed to maximize both compression and decompression performance and to provide a very small memory footprint. It can be used in many applications, such as image processing, video streaming, web browsers, and document management systems. It supports JPEG, JPEG 2000, and PNG formats, and is available for various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. It has been designed to be highly optimized for modern processors and can reduce the size of a JPEG image by up to 60% compared to the original version. Additionally, it provides support for progressive JPEG images and can decode JPEG images up to 8 times faster than unoptimized software.
