epsilon
brew install epsilon
v0.9.2
BSD-3-Clause AND (GPL-3.0-or-later OR LGPL-3.0-or-later)
Wavelet-based image compressor command-line tool for lossy/lossless image compression.
Why you might care
Epsilon uses advanced wavelet transforms for efficient image compression with parallel processing support. It's useful if you need specialized wavelet-based compression outside standard formats like JPEG or PNG, particularly for scientific or archival image processing workflows.
