  PNG decoding and encoding library in pure Rust

  

  Encoding images to PNG with the "fast" compression mode is now an order of magnitude faster. This is achieved using a custom Zlib compression implementation that leverages assumptions about the patterns in PNG data to get reasonable compression ratios at phenomenal speeds.

  18 2,859 8.7 Rust

  An SVG rendering library.

  

  For example, when converting vector SVG images to raster PNG images with resvg, most of the time is spent compressing the PNG image. This is a lot of wasted work if we just want to read the image instead of transferring it over the network! The fast compression mode eliminates all this wasted work, resulting in huge performance and efficiency gains.

  Fast deflate implementation specialized for PNG image data

  

  The changes have been tested for regressions on 80,000 images, and the new Zlib implementation has been roundtrip-fuzzed to ensure correctness. The png crate as a whole also added roundtrip fuzzing. So we're quite confident in the correctness of these changes, but if you find anything amiss, please open an issue on Github.

  Super fast C++ .PNG writer/reader

  When the QOI format was first announced it wasn't clear that was even possible while keeping PNG format compatibility. But the fpng and fpnge C/C++ libraries showed it was, and today you can take advantage of those advances in a general purpose PNG library in Rust!

  Demo of a fast PNG encoder.
