GSLib is a lossy image compression library that operates through streaming, with a basis in DCT technology.
GSLib, also known as The GrayScale Library, is a powerful and efficient software designed for streaming, DCT-based, lossy image compression. It specializes in compressing 8-bit grayscale images mainly, but it can also compress truecolor 24-bit images, which are converted into grayscale format before compression.
One of the most notable features of GSLib is its built-in memory compression and decompression functions. The compression and decompression processes can be achieved in a single step when the buffers are large enough. However, for smaller buffers, the application should call the compression or decompression function repeatedly, providing more input and consuming more output space before each call.
In summary, GSLib is similar to JPEG in functionality, but it is optimized for grayscale images and boasts a simple and convenient interface. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and easy-to-use image compression library.
