This is a rust CLI application and library to decode and encode raw pixel data to and from the .qoi image format. See qoiformat.org for more information on the format. Both decoder and encoder pass all the test images provided by the format's maintainers.

I have created this largely to learn rust myself and do not recommend using this crate over the Image crate. Please observe that this crate is licensed under the GPL-v3-or-later only and can thus not be for non-FOSS projects. No MIT/BSD dual-licensing will be considered.

To install

Simply grab the latest release and place the binary in a path that is searched via your $PATH variable. Please keep in mind that the release binary provided is for linux-x86_64 only (code uses u64 and as thus is likely not functional on IA-32). Should you wish to run the program on different operating systems, please refer to build instructions below.

To build

Make sure rustup has cargo and your preferred toolchain installed.

Clone the repository by running git clone https://git.valhrafnaz.gay/valhrafnaz/qoi-img.git

Move into the directory cd qoi-img

Run cargo build -r to build a stable version for your rustc toolchain in ./target/release.
