  • png crate gets an ultrafast compression mode, up to 4x faster decompression
    6 projects | /r/rust | 13 Apr 2023
    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.
  • Introducing zune-png: extremely fast PNG decoding in Rust
    3 projects | /r/rust | 10 Apr 2023
    However, the latest release of the png crate - published less than a day ago - has an ultrafast compression mode that's slightly faster than the QOI reference implementation at a comparable compression ratio. So basically you get the properties of QOI in a much more widely used image format.

    The maintainers of png crate are looking to integrate some of these optimizations, and have also been working on performance improvements to the png crate independently from this effort. The initial results are really promising, although there is more work to be done.
  • Announcing zune-jpeg: Rust's fastest JPEG decoder
    7 projects | /r/rust | 1 Mar 2023
    In other areas, miniz_oxide is faster than miniz, Symphonia is faster than ffmpeg on most codecs, the not-yet-announced zune-png beats both libpng and the more heavily optimized libspng, and the png crate is getting considerable improvements too and also beats libpng.
  • Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
    20 projects | /r/rust | 2 Aug 2022
    gif, png, zune-jpeg are on par with their C counterparts in terms of performance
  • When soundness isn't worth it
    3 projects | /r/rust | 24 Apr 2021
    Fun fact: libpng-sys was so difficult to create safe Rust wrapper for that people just wrote their own, 100% safe Rust PNG decoder: https://github.com/image-rs/image-png
  • Anyone want to speed up a PNG decoder?
    7 projects | /r/rust | 7 Apr 2021
    I didn't get time to finish the full spec for my attempt at a PNG decoder but it was working on common cases and was faster than image-png at the time https://users.rust-lang.org/t/new-rust-png-decoding-library/30952. I suspect it's not the case anymore since it changes it's deflate crate usage. Here is the perf issue on the image crate https://github.com/image-rs/image-png/issues/114. My code was way simpler than the one in the image crate so that might still be worth a read if you are interested.

    image-png crate achieved automatic vectorization like this. That doesn't apply to Paeth filter though.
  • Wuffs PNG decoder faster than rust
    4 projects | /r/rust | 6 Apr 2021
    The crate actually forbids unsafe. There's nothing necessarily wrong with unsafe code, but not having it provides a nice assurance. Plus if you are willing to tolerate (well audited) unsafe code then you may well be better off just using libpng.
