JPEG Library
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.
For more information, contact jpeg-info@jpegclub.org.
