To achieve +simplicity, the following design choices were made: There are no dependencies +on any external library. There are functions to decode and encode a PNG with +a single function call, and extended versions of these functions taking a +LodePNGState struct allowing to specify or get more information. By default +the colors of the raw image are always RGB or RGBA, no matter what color type +the PNG file uses. To read and write files, there are simple functions to +convert the files to/from buffers in memory. + +This all makes LodePNG suitable for loading textures in games, demos and small +programs, ... It's less suitable for full fledged image editors, loading PNGs +over network (it requires all the image data to be available before decoding can +begin), life-critical systems, ... + +1.1. supported features +----------------------- + +The following features are supported by the decoder: + +*) decoding of PNGs with any color type, bit depth and interlace mode, to a 24- or 32-bit color raw image, + or the same color type as the PNG +*) encoding of PNGs, from any raw image to 24- or 32-bit color, or the same color type as the raw image +*) Adam7 interlace and deinterlace for any color type +*) loading the image from harddisk or decoding it from a buffer from other sources than harddisk +*) support for alpha channels, including RGBA color model, translucent palettes and color keying +*) zlib decompression (inflate) +*) zlib compression (deflate) +*) CRC32 and ADLER32 checksums +*) handling of unknown chunks, allowing making a PNG editor that stores custom and unknown chunks. +*) the following chunks are supported (generated/interpreted) by both encoder and decoder: + IHDR: header information + PLTE: color palette + IDAT: pixel data + IEND: the final chunk + tRNS: transparency for palettized images + tEXt: textual information + zTXt: compressed textual information + iTXt: international textual information + bKGD: suggested background color + pHYs: physical dimensions + tIME: modification time + +1.2. features not supported +--------------------------- + +The following features are _not_ supported: + +*) some features needed to make a conformant PNG-Editor might be still missing. +*) partial loading/stream processing. All data must be available and is processed in one call. +*) The following public chunks are not supported but treated as unknown chunks by LodePNG + cHRM, gAMA, iCCP, sRGB, sBIT, hIST, sPLT + Some of these are not supported on purpose: LodePNG wants to provide the RGB values + stored in the pixels, not values modified by system dependent gamma or color models. + + +2. C and C++ version +-------------------- + +The C version uses buffers allocated with alloc that you need to free() +yourself. You need to use init and cleanup functions for each struct whenever +using a struct from the C version to avoid exploits and memory leaks. + +The C++ version has extra functions with std::vectors in the interface and the +lodepng::State class which is a LodePNGState with constructor and destructor. + +These files work without modification for both C and C++ compilers because all +the additional C++ code is in "#ifdef __cplusplus" blocks that make C-compilers +ignore it, and the C code is made to compile both with strict ISO C90 and C++. + +To use the C++ version, you need to rename the source file to lodepng.cpp +(instead of lodepng.c), and compile it with a C++ compiler. + +To use the C version, you need to rename the source file to lodepng.c (instead +of lodepng.cpp), and compile it with a C compiler. + + +3. Security +----------- + +Even if carefully designed, it's always possible that LodePNG contains possible +exploits. If you discover one, please let me know, and it will be fixed. + +When using LodePNG, care has to be taken with the C version of LodePNG, as well +as the C-style structs when working with C++. The following conventions are used +for all C-style structs: + +-if a struct has a corresponding init function, always call the init function when making a new one +-if a struct has a corresponding cleanup function, call it before the struct disappears to avoid memory leaks +-if a struct has a corresponding copy function, use the copy function instead of "=". + The destination must also be inited already. + + +4. Decoding +----------- + +Decoding converts a PNG compressed image to a raw pixel buffer. + +Most documentation on using the decoder is at its declarations in the header +above. For C, simple decoding can be done with functions such as +lodepng_decode32, and more advanced decoding can be done with the struct +LodePNGState and lodepng_decode. For C++, all decoding can be done with the +various lodepng::decode functions, and lodepng::State can be used for advanced +features. + +When using the LodePNGState, it uses the following fields for decoding: +*) LodePNGInfo info_png: it stores extra information about the PNG (the input) in here +*) LodePNGColorMode info_raw: here you can say what color mode of the raw image (the output) you want to get +*) LodePNGDecoderSettings decoder: you can specify a few extra settings for the decoder to use + +LodePNGInfo info_png +-------------------- + +After decoding, this contains extra information of the PNG image, except the actual +pixels, width and height because these are already gotten directly from the decoder +functions. + +It contains for example the original color type of the PNG image, text comments, +suggested background color, etc... More details about the LodePNGInfo struct are +at its declaration documentation. + +LodePNGColorMode info_raw +------------------------- + +When decoding, here you can specify which color type you want +the resulting raw image to be. If this is different from the colortype of the +PNG, then the decoder will automatically convert the result. This conversion +always works, except if you want it to convert a color PNG to greyscale or to +a palette with missing colors. + +By default, 32-bit color is used for the result. + +LodePNGDecoderSettings decoder +------------------------------ + +The settings can be used to ignore the errors created by invalid CRC and Adler32 +chunks, and to disable the decoding of tEXt chunks. + +There's also a setting color_convert, true by default. If false, no conversion +is done, the resulting data will be as it was in the PNG (after decompression) +and you'll have to puzzle the colors of the pixels together yourself using the +color type information in the LodePNGInfo. + + +5. Encoding +----------- + +Encoding converts a raw pixel buffer to a PNG compressed image. + +Most documentation on using the encoder is at its declarations in the header +above. For C, simple encoding can be done with functions such as +lodepng_encode32, and more advanced decoding can be done with the struct +LodePNGState and lodepng_encode. For C++, all encoding can be done with the +various lodepng::encode functions, and lodepng::State can be used for advanced +features. + +Like the decoder, the encoder can also give errors. However it gives less errors +since the encoder input is trusted, the decoder input (a PNG image that could +be forged by anyone) is not trusted. + +When using the LodePNGState, it uses the following fields for encoding: +*) LodePNGInfo info_png: here you specify how you want the PNG (the output) to be. +*) LodePNGColorMode info_raw: here you say what color type of the raw image (the input) has +*) LodePNGEncoderSettings encoder: you can specify a few settings for the encoder to use + +LodePNGInfo info_png +-------------------- + +When encoding, you use this the opposite way as when decoding: for encoding, +you fill in the values you want the PNG to have before encoding. By default it's +not needed to specify a color type for the PNG since it's automatically chosen, +but it's possible to choose it yourself given the right settings. + +The encoder will not always exactly match the LodePNGInfo struct you give, +it tries as close as possible. Some things are ignored by the encoder. The +encoder uses, for example, the following settings from it when applicable: +colortype and bitdepth, text chunks, time chunk, the color key, the palette, the +background color, the interlace method, unknown chunks, ... + +When encoding to a PNG with colortype 3, the encoder will generate a PLTE chunk. +If the palette contains any colors for which the alpha channel is not 255 (so +there are translucent colors in the palette), it'll add a tRNS chunk. + +LodePNGColorMode info_raw +------------------------- + +You specify the color type of the raw image that you give to the input here, +including a possible transparent color key and palette you happen to be using in +your raw image data. + +By default, 32-bit color is assumed, meaning your input has to be in RGBA +format with 4 bytes (unsigned chars) per pixel. + +LodePNGEncoderSettings encoder +------------------------------ + +The following settings are supported (some are in sub-structs): +*) auto_convert: when this option is enabled, the encoder will +automatically choose the smallest possible color mode (including color key) that +can encode the colors of all pixels without information loss. +*) btype: the block type for LZ77. 0 = uncompressed, 1 = fixed huffman tree, + 2 = dynamic huffman tree (best compression). Should be 2 for proper + compression. +*) use_lz77: whether or not to use LZ77 for compressed block types. Should be + true for proper compression. +*) windowsize: the window size used by the LZ77 encoder (1 - 32768). Has value + 2048 by default, but can be set to 32768 for better, but slow, compression. +*) force_palette: if colortype is 2 or 6, you can make the encoder write a PLTE + chunk if force_palette is true. This can used as suggested palette to convert + to by viewers that don't support more than 256 colors (if those still exist) +*) add_id: add text chunk "Encoder: LodePNG <version>" to the image. +*) text_compression: default 1. If 1, it'll store texts as zTXt instead of tEXt chunks. + zTXt chunks use zlib compression on the text. This gives a smaller result on + large texts but a larger result on small texts (such as a single program name). + It's all tEXt or all zTXt though, there's no separate setting per text yet. + + +6. color conversions +-------------------- + +An important thing to note about LodePNG, is that the color type of the PNG, and +the color type of the raw image, are completely independent. By default, when +you decode a PNG, you get the result as a raw image in the color type you want, +no matter whether the PNG was encoded with a palette, greyscale or RGBA color. +And if you encode an image, by default LodePNG will automatically choose the PNG +color type that gives good compression based on the values of colors and amount +of colors in the image. It can be configured to let you control it instead as +well, though. + +To be able to do this, LodePNG does conversions from one color mode to another. +It can convert from almost any color type to any other color type, except the +following conversions: RGB to greyscale is not supported, and converting to a +palette when the palette doesn't have a required color is not supported. This is +not supported on purpose: this is information loss which requires a color +reduction algorithm that is beyong the scope of a PNG encoder (yes, RGB to grey +is easy, but there are multiple ways if you want to give some channels more +weight). + +By default, when decoding, you get the raw image in 32-bit RGBA or 24-bit RGB +color, no matter what color type the PNG has. And by default when encoding, +LodePNG automatically picks the best color model for the output PNG, and expects +the input image to be 32-bit RGBA or 24-bit RGB. So, unless you want to control +the color format of the images yourself, you can skip this chapter. + +6.1. PNG color types +-------------------- + +A PNG image can have many color types, ranging from 1-bit color to 64-bit color, +as well as palettized color modes. After the zlib decompression and unfiltering +in the PNG image is done, the raw pixel data will have that color type and thus +a certain amount of bits per pixel. If you want the output raw image after +decoding to have another color type, a conversion is done by LodePNG. + +The PNG specification gives the following color types: + +0: greyscale, bit depths 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 +2: RGB, bit depths 8 and 16 +3: palette, bit depths 1, 2, 4 and 8 +4: greyscale with alpha, bit depths 8 and 16 +6: RGBA, bit depths 8 and 16 + +Bit depth is the amount of bits per pixel per color channel. So the total amount +of bits per pixel is: amount of channels * bitdepth. + +6.2. color conversions +---------------------- + +As explained in the sections about the encoder and decoder, you can specify +color types and bit depths in info_png and info_raw to change the default +behaviour. + +If, when decoding, you want the raw image to be something else than the default, +you need to set the color type and bit depth you want in the LodePNGColorMode, +or the parameters of the simple function of LodePNG you're using. + +If, when encoding, you use another color type than the default in the input +image, you need to specify its color type and bit depth in the LodePNGColorMode +of the raw image, or use the parameters of the simplefunction of LodePNG you're +using. + +If, when encoding, you don't want LodePNG to choose the output PNG color type +but control it yourself, you need to set auto_convert in the encoder settings +to LAC_NONE, and specify the color type you want in the LodePNGInfo of the +encoder. + +If you do any of the above, LodePNG may need to do a color conversion, which +follows the rules below, and may sometimes not be allowed. + +To avoid some confusion: +-the decoder converts from PNG to raw image +-the encoder converts from raw image to PNG +-the colortype and bitdepth in LodePNGColorMode info_raw, are those of the raw image +-the colortype and bitdepth in the color field of LodePNGInfo info_png, are those of the PNG +-when encoding, the color type in LodePNGInfo is ignored if auto_convert + is enabled, it is automatically generated instead +-when decoding, the color type in LodePNGInfo is set by the decoder to that of the original + PNG image, but it can be ignored since the raw image has the color type you requested instead +-if the color type of the LodePNGColorMode and PNG image aren't the same, a conversion + between the color types is done if the color types are supported. If it is not + supported, an error is returned. If the types are the same, no conversion is done. +-even though some conversions aren't supported, LodePNG supports loading PNGs from any + colortype and saving PNGs to any colortype, sometimes it just requires preparing + the raw image correctly before encoding. +-both encoder and decoder use the same color converter. + +Non supported color conversions: +-color to greyscale: no error is thrown, but the result will look ugly because +only the red channel is taken +-anything, to palette when that palette does not have that color in it: in this +case an error is thrown + +Supported color conversions: +-anything to 8-bit RGB, 8-bit RGBA, 16-bit RGB, 16-bit RGBA +-any grey or grey+alpha, to grey or grey+alpha +-anything to a palette, as long as the palette has the requested colors in it +-removing alpha channel +-higher to smaller bitdepth, and vice versa + +If you want no color conversion to be done: +-In the encoder, you can make it save a PNG with any color type by giving the +raw color mode and LodePNGInfo the same color mode, and setting auto_convert to +LAC_NO. +-In the decoder, you can make it store the pixel data in the same color type +as the PNG has, by setting the color_convert setting to false. Settings in +info_raw are then ignored. + +The function lodepng_convert does the color conversion. It is available in the +interface but normally isn't needed since the encoder and decoder already call +it. + +6.3. padding bits +----------------- + +In the PNG file format, if a less than 8-bit per pixel color type is used and the scanlines +have a bit amount that isn't a multiple of 8, then padding bits are used so that each +scanline starts at a fresh byte. But that is NOT true for the LodePNG raw input and output. +The raw input image you give to the encoder, and the raw output image you get from the decoder +will NOT have these padding bits, e.g. in the case of a 1-bit image with a width +of 7 pixels, the first pixel of the second scanline will the the 8th bit of the first byte, +not the first bit of a new byte. + +6.4. A note about 16-bits per channel and endianness +---------------------------------------------------- + +LodePNG uses unsigned char arrays for 16-bit per channel colors too, just like +for any other color format. The 16-bit values are stored in big endian (most +significant byte first) in these arrays. This is the opposite order of the +little endian used by x86 CPU's. + +LodePNG always uses big endian because the PNG file format does so internally. +Conversions to other formats than PNG uses internally are not supported by +LodePNG on purpose, there are myriads of formats, including endianness of 16-bit +colors, the order in which you store R, G, B and A, and so on. Supporting and +converting to/from all that is outside the scope of LodePNG. + +This may mean that, depending on your use case, you may want to convert the big +endian output of LodePNG to little endian with a for loop. This is certainly not +always needed, many applications and libraries support big endian 16-bit colors +anyway, but it means you cannot simply cast the unsigned char* buffer to an +unsigned short* buffer on x86 CPUs. + + +7. error values +--------------- + +All functions in LodePNG that return an error code, return 0 if everything went +OK, or a non-zero code if there was an error. + +The meaning of the LodePNG error values can be retrieved with the function +lodepng_error_text: given the numerical error code, it returns a description +of the error in English as a string. + +Check the implementation of lodepng_error_text to see the meaning of each code. + + +8. chunks and PNG editing +------------------------- + +If you want to add extra chunks to a PNG you encode, or use LodePNG for a PNG +editor that should follow the rules about handling of unknown chunks, or if your +program is able to read other types of chunks than the ones handled by LodePNG, +then that's possible with the chunk functions of LodePNG. + +A PNG chunk has the following layout: + +4 bytes length +4 bytes type name +length bytes data +4 bytes CRC + +8.1. iterating through chunks +----------------------------- + +If you have a buffer containing the PNG image data, then the first chunk (the +IHDR chunk) starts at byte number 8 of that buffer. The first 8 bytes are the +signature of the PNG and are not part of a chunk. But if you start at byte 8 +then you have a chunk, and can check the following things of it. + +NOTE: none of these functions check for memory buffer boundaries. To avoid +exploits, always make sure the buffer contains all the data of the chunks. +When using lodepng_chunk_next, make sure the returned value is within the +allocated memory. + +unsigned lodepng_chunk_length(const unsigned char* chunk): + +Get the length of the chunk's data. The total chunk length is this length + 12. + +void lodepng_chunk_type(char type[5], const unsigned char* chunk): +unsigned char lodepng_chunk_type_equals(const unsigned char* chunk, const char* type): + +Get the type of the chunk or compare if it's a certain type + +unsigned char lodepng_chunk_critical(const unsigned char* chunk): +unsigned char lodepng_chunk_private(const unsigned char* chunk): +unsigned char lodepng_chunk_safetocopy(const unsigned char* chunk): + +Check if the chunk is critical in the PNG standard (only IHDR, PLTE, IDAT and IEND are). +Check if the chunk is private (public chunks are part of the standard, private ones not). +Check if the chunk is safe to copy. If it's not, then, when modifying data in a critical +chunk, unsafe to copy chunks of the old image may NOT be saved in the new one if your +program doesn't handle that type of unknown chunk. + +unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_data(unsigned char* chunk): +const unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_data_const(const unsigned char* chunk): + +Get a pointer to the start of the data of the chunk. + +unsigned lodepng_chunk_check_crc(const unsigned char* chunk): +void lodepng_chunk_generate_crc(unsigned char* chunk): + +Check if the crc is correct or generate a correct one. + +unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_next(unsigned char* chunk): +const unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_next_const(const unsigned char* chunk): + +Iterate to the next chunk. This works if you have a buffer with consecutive chunks. Note that these +functions do no boundary checking of the allocated data whatsoever, so make sure there is enough +data available in the buffer to be able to go to the next chunk. + +unsigned lodepng_chunk_append(unsigned char** out, size_t* outlength, const unsigned char* chunk): +unsigned lodepng_chunk_create(unsigned char** out, size_t* outlength, unsigned length, + const char* type, const unsigned char* data): + +These functions are used to create new chunks that are appended to the data in *out that has +length *outlength. The append function appends an existing chunk to the new data. The create +function creates a new chunk with the given parameters and appends it. Type is the 4-letter +name of the chunk. + +8.2. chunks in info_png +----------------------- + +The LodePNGInfo struct contains fields with the unknown chunk in it. It has 3 +buffers (each with size) to contain 3 types of unknown chunks: +the ones that come before the PLTE chunk, the ones that come between the PLTE +and the IDAT chunks, and the ones that come after the IDAT chunks. +It's necessary to make the distionction between these 3 cases because the PNG +standard forces to keep the ordering of unknown chunks compared to the critical +chunks, but does not force any other ordering rules. + +info_png.unknown_chunks_data[0] is the chunks before PLTE +info_png.unknown_chunks_data[1] is the chunks after PLTE, before IDAT +info_png.unknown_chunks_data[2] is the chunks after IDAT + +The chunks in these 3 buffers can be iterated through and read by using the same +way described in the previous subchapter. + +When using the decoder to decode a PNG, you can make it store all unknown chunks +if you set the option settings.remember_unknown_chunks to 1. By default, this +option is off (0). + +The encoder will always encode unknown chunks that are stored in the info_png. +If you need it to add a particular chunk that isn't known by LodePNG, you can +use lodepng_chunk_append or lodepng_chunk_create to the chunk data in +info_png.unknown_chunks_data[x]. + +Chunks that are known by LodePNG should not be added in that way. E.g. to make +LodePNG add a bKGD chunk, set background_defined to true and add the correct +parameters there instead. + + +9. compiler support +------------------- + +No libraries other than the current standard C library are needed to compile +LodePNG. For the C++ version, only the standard C++ library is needed on top. +Add the files lodepng.c(pp) and lodepng.h to your project, include +lodepng.h where needed, and your program can read/write PNG files. + +If performance is important, use optimization when compiling! For both the +encoder and decoder, this makes a large difference. + +Make sure that LodePNG is compiled with the same compiler of the same version +and with the same settings as the rest of the program, or the interfaces with +std::vectors and std::strings in C++ can be incompatible. + +CHAR_BITS must be 8 or higher, because LodePNG uses unsigned chars for octets. + +*) gcc and g++ + +LodePNG is developed in gcc so this compiler is natively supported. It gives no +warnings with compiler options "-Wall -Wextra -pedantic -ansi", with gcc and g++ +version 4.7.1 on Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit. + +*) Mingw + +The Mingw compiler (a port of gcc) for Windows is fully supported by LodePNG. + +*) Visual Studio 2005 and up, Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 and up + +Visual Studio may give warnings about 'fopen' being deprecated. A multiplatform library +can't support the proposed Visual Studio alternative however, so LodePNG keeps using +fopen. If you don't want to see the deprecated warnings, put this on top of lodepng.h +before the inclusions: +#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE + +Other than the above warnings, LodePNG should be warning-free with warning +level 3 (W3). Warning level 4 (W4) will give warnings about integer conversions. +I'm not planning to resolve these warnings. To get rid of them, let Visual +Studio use warning level W3 for lodepng.cpp only: right click lodepng.cpp, +Properties, C/C++, General, Warning Level: Level 3 (/W3). + +Visual Studio may want "stdafx.h" files to be included in each source file and +give an error "unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header". +That is not standard C++ and will not be added to the stock LodePNG. You can +disable it for lodepng.cpp only by right clicking it, Properties, C/C++, +Precompiled Headers, and set it to Not Using Precompiled Headers there. + +*) Visual Studio 6.0 + +LodePNG support for Visual Studio 6.0 is not guaranteed because VS6 doesn't +follow the C++ standard correctly. + +*) Comeau C/C++ + +Vesion 20070107 compiles without problems on the Comeau C/C++ Online Test Drive +at http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout in both C90 and C++ mode. + +*) Compilers on Macintosh + +LodePNG has been reported to work both with the gcc and LLVM for Macintosh, both +for C and C++. + +*) Other Compilers + +If you encounter problems on other compilers, feel free to let me know and I may +try to fix it if the compiler is modern standards complient. + + +10. examples +------------ + +This decoder example shows the most basic usage of LodePNG. More complex +examples can be found on the LodePNG website. + +10.1. decoder C++ example +------------------------- + +#include "lodepng.h" +#include <iostream> + +int main(int argc, char *argv[]) +{ + const char* filename = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "test.png"; + + //load and decode + std::vector<unsigned char> image; + unsigned width, height; + unsigned error = lodepng::decode(image, width, height, filename); + + //if there's an error, display it + if(error) std::cout << "decoder error " << error << ": " << lodepng_error_text(error) << std::endl; + + //the pixels are now in the vector "image", 4 bytes per pixel, ordered RGBARGBA..., use it as texture, draw it, ... +} + +10.2. decoder C example +----------------------- + +#include "lodepng.h" + +int main(int argc, char *argv[]) +{ + unsigned error; + unsigned char* image; + size_t width, height; + const char* filename = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "test.png"; + + error = lodepng_decode32_file(&image, &width, &height, filename); + + if(error) printf("decoder error %u: %s\n", error, lodepng_error_text(error)); + + / * use image here * / + + free(image); + return 0; +} + + +11. changes +----------- + +The version number of LodePNG is the date of the change given in the format +yyyymmdd. + +Some changes aren't backwards compatible.
