Lossless Image Compression in O(n) Time
Introducing QOI — the Quite OK Image Format. It losslessly compresses RGB and
RGBA images to a similar size of PNG, while offering a 20x-50x speedup in

SIMD. It’s also stupidly simple.

source on github,
benchmark results here.

Thank you for providing such a great service over the years I’ve used micro.blog 🙇♂️
