# QOI - The “Quite OK Image” format for fast, lossless image compression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Single-file MIT licensed library for C/C++
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [qoi.h](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoi.h) for
|
||
|
|
the documentation.
|
||
|
|
|

More info at https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/11/qoi-fast-lossless-image-compression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compared to stb_image and stb_image_write QOI offers 20x-50x faster encoding,
|
||
|
|
3x-4x faster decoding and 20% better compression. It's also stupidly simple and
|
||
|
|
fits in about 300 lines of C.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [qoiconv.c](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoiconv.c)
|
||
|
|
converts between png <> qoi
|
||
|
|
- [qoibench.c](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/blob/master/qoibench.c)
|
||
|
|
a simple wrapper to benchmark stbi, libpng and qoi
