+# QOI - The “Quite OK Image” format for fast, lossless image compression
+
+Single-file MIT licensed library for C/C++
+
+See [qoi.h](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoi.h) for
+the documentation.
+
+More info at https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/11/qoi-fast-lossless-image-compression
+
+## 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](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoiconv.c)
+converts between png <> qoi
+ - [qoibench.c](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoibench.c)
+a simple wrapper to benchmark stbi, libpng and qoi
