libvips libvips

Use this command to install libvips:
winget install --id=libvips.libvips -e

A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

libvips is a high-performance image processing library designed for efficient handling of image operations with minimal memory consumption. It provides a versatile toolkit for developers to process images quickly and scalably.

Key Features:

  • Low memory footprint for resource-efficient image processing
  • Support for multiple image formats including HEIF, WebP, PNG, and TIFF
  • Cross-platform compatibility with support for x86_64, i686, and aarch64 architectures
  • Tools for metadata extraction, thumbnail generation, and advanced image manipulation
  • Built using MXE environment with LLVM-based tools for optimized performance

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, photographers, and data scientists who need fast and reliable image processing. libvips enables seamless integration into applications requiring efficient handling of large image datasets or complex transformations.

Installation via winget is available for easy setup on supported platforms.

README

build-win64-mxe

libvips and its dependencies cross-compiled for all supported Windows architectures (x86_64, i686 and aarch64).

Uses MXE as base environment. A custom plugin based upon the llvm-mingw repository is used to swap GCC and binutils with Clang and other LLVM-based tools.

libjpeg-turbo

libvips does not use any of MozJPEG's improvements by default unless explicitly set, yet one can still choose to build the above variants with libjpeg-turbo instead of MozJPEG. This can be accomplished with the --with-jpeg-turbo argument. For example:

./build.sh --with-jpeg-turbo

In that case, the following version of libjpeg-turbo is built:

libjpeg-turbo3.1.0zlib License, IJG License

jpegli

jpegli is an improved JPEG encoder and decoder implementation, fully compatible with the API/ABI of libjpeg62. It leverages many of the insights from related projects like guetzli, butteraugli, and JPEG XL to achieve a higher quality-per-byte for JPEG images. To enable this, use the --with-jpegli argument when building. For example:

./build.sh --with-jpegli

In that case, the following version of jpegli is built:

DependencyVersionUsed under the terms of
jpegli5126d62BSD 3-Clause

zlib

By default, zlib-ng is built. This is a zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems. You can use the --without-zlib-ng argument during the build when (vanilla-)zlib is preferred. For example:

./build.sh --without-zlib-ng

In that case, the following version of zlib is built:

HEVC-related dependencies

The above variants can optionally be built with libde265 and x265 to process HEIC images. This can be turned on with the --with-hevc argument. For example:

./build.sh --with-hevc

These dependencies include HEVC-related logic and are therefore not included in the prebuilt binaries while it is patent-encumbered.
