Single-file MIT licensed library for C/C++
See qoi.h for the documentation.
More info at https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/11/qoi-fast-lossless-image-compression
⚠️ Please note that this library is not yet ready to deal with untrusted input.
⚠️ 2021.11.30 – the file format is not yet finalized. We're still working to fix some smaller issues. The final specification will be announced on 2021.12.20. Thanks for your patience! https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/issues/48
These specification changes are not yet reflected in the code here
reflected in qoi.h now.
Why?
Compared to stb_image and stb_image_write QOI offers 20x-50x faster encoding, 3x-4x faster decoding and 20% better compression. It's also stupidly simple and fits in about 300 lines of C.
Example Usage
- qoiconv.c converts between png <> qoi
- qoibench.c a simple wrapper to benchmark stbi, libpng and qoi
