Project mention: Photon: Rust/WebAssembly image processing library faster than VIPs and PIL | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-10
I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to the excellent zune-jpeg library: https://github.com/etemesi254/zune-image/tree/dev/crates/zun...
Most Python libraries like PIL rely on some flavor of the venerable libjpeg (e.g. libjpegturbo, mozjpeg) which makes it the de-facto standard for loading jpegs.
A notable downside is that it's written in C and there have been more than a few exploits found inside it over the years. While it's pretty damn mature by now and there has been a huge amount of fuzzing done to tease out remaining issues, fact remains that it's yet another attack vector that makes your resident security guy or gal raise a few eyebrows.
With zune-jpeg you get a fully memory-safe implementation that can act as a drop-in replacement, and when you turn on the (admittedly experimental) SIMD support for things like the IDCT and color-space conversion it's as fast, or in places even faster, than libjpegturbo/mozjpeg, even on very large (e.g. 4k by 4k) images.

Image RS is something special. It's a brand-new image component built specifically for Rust-based frontend frameworks like Yew, Dioxus, and Leptos. It runs inside the browser through WebAssembly (Wasm), meaning it's written in Rust, then compiled into blazing fast binary code that the browser can run directly.
