**SQP** (Squishy Picture) is a simple image format designed **SQP** (**SQ**uishy **P**icture Format) is an image format designed

compression ratio for various purposes. The general idea is to make compression ratio. The general idea is to make something "good enough"

compression (mostly on my part). If you need an image format for general
use, this is probably **not it**, go check out JPEG XL or AVIF.

Additionally, it also supports both lossless and lossy encoding schemes, ## Features
with the lossy version using Discrete Cosine Transform encoding like JPEG. - Lossless and lossy compression schemes
- Support for various color formats (RGBA8, GrayAlpha8, etc.)
- Decent compression ratios, the lossless compression can often beat PNG
especially on images with transparency
- Relatively simple
