Qoi
QOI is a lossless image codec and encoding standard designed for high-speed compression and decompression of raw pixel data. It provides a toolkit for translating raw image buffers into a compact format and back into pixel representations without any loss of quality.
The implementation focuses on fast image encoding and decoding, enabling the rapid conversion of compressed image data back into raw pixels. It also supports image format conversion to ensure compatibility across different software systems and hardware.
