About:
libjpeg-turbo is a high-performance JPEG codec that uses SIMD instructions to accelerate compression and decompression. It maintains full compatibility with the original libjpeg API while offering significantly faster performance. The library serves as a drop-in replacement for libjpeg in many applications.
Key Features:
  • SIMD-optimized performance using MMX, SSE2, and AVX2
  • Full API/ABI compatibility with libjpeg
  • TurboJPEG API for simplified integration
  • Support for progressive and lossless JPEG
Use Cases:
  • High-performance image processing applications
  • Web servers handling image compression
  • Digital photography software
  • Computer vision pipelines
Alternatives:
  • libjpeg – Original reference implementation, slower but more portable
  • mozjpeg – Fork focused on web compression, better compression ratios but slower
