libjpeg-turbo is a SIMD-accelerated JPEG image codec library that is API/ABI-compatible with libjpeg and generally 2-6x faster. It provides both the traditional libjpeg API and the simpler TurboJPEG API, plus a Java interface and colorspace extensions for 32-bit pixel buffers.
Use cases
- compress and decompress JPEG images at high speed
- replace libjpeg in an application for faster JPEG encoding/decoding
- generate planar YUV images from JPEG data
- perform lossless transforms on JPEG images
- decode JPEGs into 32-bit RGBX/XBGR pixel buffers
- use JPEG compression from Java
When to choose
- you need fast, standards-compliant JPEG compression/decompression
- you want drop-in libjpeg API compatibility with better performance
- you need a mature, widely deployed JPEG codec across platforms
When to avoid
- you need non-standard SmartScale format from libjpeg v8+
- you want better compression ratios rather than speed (consider mozjpeg)
- you need codecs for formats other than JPEG
