LEADTOOLS Image Compression SDK

Starting in 1990, LEAD Technologies has been perfecting image compression. Since then, LEADTOOLS image compression support has continued to grow, adding many image compression algorithms and technologies for .NET, C and C++ programmers to use in any application.

Overview of LEADTOOLS Image Compression SDK Technology

• Image compression available as C DLL, C++ classes, .NET classes, Silverlight classes, WIC codecs and DirectShow codecs.
• Add image compression to single and multi-threaded applications.
• Native 32 and 64 bit binaries for image compression.
• Image compression for bitonal, color and grayscale image data.
• Image compression specifically designed for scanned checks: LEAD ABC and ABIC.
• Optimize images for websites and network bandwidth.
• Keep displayed images compressed in memory, reducing system requirements and increasing potential customer base.
• JPIP client and server SDK.
