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.
