Unlock Lossless Image Power with PNG in Java

JDeli is the pure Java solution for developers working with the PNG format

What is the PNG file format?

The Lossless Web Standard

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in 1996 as a lossless alternative to GIF. It supports transparency, rich colors, and pixel-perfect quality, making it a favourite for graphics, icons, and UI elements. While larger than JPEG files, PNG ensures accuracy and clarity, making it essential for design-focused web and software applications.

Problems with PNG files in Java

Java developers commonly run into several frustrating and time-consuming problems:

Large File Sizes for Complex Images

While PNG supports lossless compression, detailed images can result in significantly larger files compared with JPEG.

Complicated Open Source Solutions

Free solutions require use of wrappers on native libraries/tools increasing complexity.

Limited Color Profiles

Handling color profiles and gamma correction in Java can lead to inconsistent rendering across platforms.

Transparency Pitfalls

Alpha channel support is available, but improper handling can cause unexpected visual artifacts or performance issues.

Memory-Intensive Processing

Decoding or manipulating large PNG images can consume substantial memory, impacting application performance.

Read, Write and Convert PNG files in pure Java with JDeli

JDeli helps unlock the potential of the file format with a few lines of Java code:

// Read PNG files

JDeli.read(File pngFile);

JDeli.read(byte[] pngData);

JDeli.read(InputStream pngStream);
// Write PNG files

JDeli.write(myBufferedImage, "png");
// Convert to and from PNG files
JDeli.convert(File inFile, File outFile);

JDeli.convert(InputStream inStream, OutputStream outStream, String format);

byte[] outputData=JDeli.convert(byte[] inputData, String format);
