Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding,
|
|
and transcoding. JPEG is a standardized compression method for full-color
|
|
and gray-scale images.
|
|
|
|
The distributed programs provide conversion between JPEG "JFIF" format and
|
|
image files in PBMPLUS PPM/PGM, GIF, BMP, and Targa file formats. The
|
|
core compression and decompression library can easily be reused in other
|
|
programs, such as image viewers. The package is highly portable C code;
|
|
we have tested it on many machines ranging from PCs to Crays.
|
|
|
|
We are releasing this software for both noncommercial and commercial use.
|
|
Companies are welcome to use it as the basis for JPEG-related products.
|
|
We do not ask a royalty, although we do ask for an acknowledgement in
|
|
product literature (see the README file in the distribution for details).
|
|
We hope to make this software industrial-quality --- although, as with
|
|
anything that's free, we offer no warranty and accept no liability.
