**SQP** (**SQ**uishy **P**icture Format) is an image format designed
|
|
for ease of implementation and learning about compression and image formats
|
|
while attaining a relatively good compression ratio. The general idea is to
|
|
make something "good enough" while being simple, and also as a learning tool
|
|
to learn about 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.
|
|
|
|
This reference implementation fits in around 1000 lines of relatively
|
|
simple Rust, while maintaining decent compression and decompression
|
|
speeds.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Lossless and lossy compression schemes
|
|
- Support for various color formats (RGBA, Grayscale, etc.)
|
|
- Decent compression ratios, the lossless compression can often beat PNG
|
|
especially on images with transparency
|
|
- Relatively simple
|
|
- Squishy! 🍡
|
|
|
|
## Future Features
|
|
- Animated images
|
|
- Frame difference encoding
|
|
- Loop points
|
|
- Arbitrary frame timings
|
|
- Decoder-based frame interpolation
|
|
- Floating point color
|
|
- Metadata?
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
All examples are at 30% quality in both JPEG and SQP.
