libjpeg

Libjpeg is a widely used C library for reading and writing JPEG image files. It was developed by Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) during the 1990's and it is now maintained by several developers using various services identified in the SourceForge summary.

The latest release is version 6b of 27-Mar-1998. This is a stable and solid foundation for many application's JPEG support.

Download

You can find downloadable source code in the SourceForge release area. Source, and other files can also be found on the old download site at http://www.ijg.org/files/.

Libjpeg maintenance was migrated to SourceForge in 2006, and maintenance releases are planned for early 2009. The current development code is available in CVS (libjpeg.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libjpeg). The CVS source is also browseable.
