About:
epeg is a command-line utility designed for rapid JPEG thumbnail generation and scaling. It operates directly on JPEG files without full decompression, making it significantly faster than traditional image processors. The tool is ideal for high-volume batch processing where speed and low memory usage are critical.
Key Features:
  • Fast JPEG scaling without full decompression
  • Low memory footprint during processing
  • Command-line interface for easy automation
  • Supports batch processing of images
Use Cases:
  • Generating web-optimized thumbnails from large photo libraries
  • Automating image resizing in server-side scripts and build pipelines
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick – More versatile but significantly slower and heavier for simple JPEG scaling tasks
  • libvips – High-performance alternative with a broader feature set and library dependencies
