BPG (Better Portable Graphics) is a new image format. Its purpose is to replace JPEG when quality or file size is an issue. BPG was created by Fabrice Bellard in 2014 as a more efficient alternative to JPEG. It is based on HEVC video compression. BPG images have smaller files sizes than JPEG for similar quality. Most browsers support BPG with a JavaScript decoder.
Bellard proposed BPG as replacement for JPEG format. Tests found BPG had smaller files than JPEG, JPEG XR and WebP for similar quality. The format works well in low memory environments like phones and IoT devices where efficiency matters.
BPG contains quality similar to JPEG but with better compression. So file sizes are smaller than equivalent JPEGs. BPG’s compression method is more efficient than JPEG. It was created in 2014 as potential JPEG replacement.
Here’s a shorter, more cohesive version focusing only on the key details about BPG:
BPG (Better Portable Graphics) is a new image format created by Fabrice Bellard in 2014. Its purpose is to replace JPEG with better compression efficiency in terms of quality and file size. BPG is based on HEVC video compression standard. Tests show BPG produces smaller file sizes than JPEG for similar image quality. Most browsers can display BPG images with a small JavaScript decoder. The format is designed to be portable for handheld and IoT devices where efficiency matters.
