FLIF - Free Lossless Image Format
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Better than competition

    • 26% smaller than brute-force crushed PNG files,
    • 35% smaller than typical PNG files,
    • 37% smaller than lossless JPEG 2000 compression,
    • 15% smaller than lossless WebP,
    • 22% smaller than lossless BPG.

    Specs

    • Lossless compression
    • Greyscale, RGB, RGBA
    • Color depth: up to 16 bits per channel (high dynamic range)
    • Interlaced or non-interlaced
    • Interlaced files can be decoded quickly at lower quality/resolution (“Responsive By Design”)
    • Progressive decoding of partially downloaded files
    • Animation support
    • Encoding and decoding speeds are not blazingly fast, but they are in the right ballpark

    Looks really good.

    But I wonder whether it's providing enough of a difference to motivate widespread use - given that most bandwidth-critical applications are dominated by lossy compression and that photo-enthusiasts storing lossless images locally might not bother too much about 25% more or less.
