v2.5.4
BSD-2-Clause
C library for encoding and decoding JPEG-2000 images with command-line tools.
Why you might care
OpenJPEG is the reference implementation of JPEG-2000, offering superior compression for high-quality imagery and archival use. It provides both a shared library for embedding in applications and standalone CLI utilities (`opj_compress`, `opj_decompress`) for batch processing. Use this as a build dependency if you need JPEG-2000 support in image processing tools, or directly for lossless medical/scientific imaging workflows.
