Open Source C File Compression Software for Mac

Info-ZIP portable compression/archiver utilities (Zip, UnZip, WiZ, etc.)

LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to improve the psycho acoustics, quality and speed of MP3 encoding. Note: we provide source code only!

OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size, without losing any information. This program also converts external formats (BMP, GIF, PNM and TIFF) to optimized PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks and corrections.

Version 1.0.9 contains a fix to "integer overflow" problem. This happens when "one-shot" decoding API is used (or input chunk for streaming API is not limited), input size (chunk size) is larger than 2GiB, and input contains uncompressed blocks. After the overflow happens, memcpy is invoked with a gigantic num value, that will likely cause the crash. Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932. Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License. You can download and install brotli using the vcpkg dependency manager.

FLAC is a free lossless compressed audio format which supports streaming and archival. The FLAC project maintains the format and provides a reference encoder/decoder and input plugins for several popular audio players.

pngcrush and other tools for manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) and MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) files.

Rar Expander is a MacOSX program which extracts the files contained in single or multi-volume RAR archives. It uses the official unRAR library internally so it is fully compatible with archives produced by WinRAR.

ARC is used to create and maintain file archives. An archive is a group of files collected together into one file in such a way that the individual files may be recovered intact. This repo is obsolete. Use github.com/hyc/arc instead.

Moved to GitHub.com/gdraheim/zziplib/ The ZZIPlib provides read access on ZIP-archives. The library uses only the patent-free compression-algorithms supported by Zlib. It provides functions that transparently access files being either real files or zipped files, both with the same filepath

Simple light-weight file compression and decompression utilities. Written in C and portable to all platforms. Simple compress and decompress subroutines can be linked and called within applications to compact or unpack data on the fly or stand-alone.

The littleutils include duplicate file finders (repeats, repeats.pl, repeats.py), image optimizers (opt-jpg, opt-png, opt-gif, recomp-jpg), file rename tools (lowercase, uppercase, pren), archive recompressors (to-gzip, to-bzip2, to-bzip3, to-7zip, to-lzma, to-lzip, to-xz), a tempfile utility (tempname), file property tools (filedate, filemode, filenode, fileown, filesize, and lrealpath), and others. See the README file for more details.

Basic Compression Library is a portable library of well known compression algorithms, such as Huffman coding, written in standard ANSI C. It is intended to serve as a set of building blocks for specialized compression algorithms.

The RLE compression pack is a set of utilities to compress and decompress files using RLE algorithm.

lzop is a file compressor similar to gzip. Its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed, at the cost of some compression ratio. lzop uses the LZO library for compression services.

Depack routines for old Atari ST packing programs like Ice, Atomic etc.

PyramidWorkshop is an image-compression System based upon the scientific work of John Robinson (inventor of BTPC) about image-compression with adaptive linear predictors and is in average more efficient than PNG/JPEG2000.

Minimalist rework of gzip/gunzip with minimal memory requirement (16KB zip / 2KB unzip) and addons : on-the-fly processing of partial input data (no need to bufferize all data), input from and/or output to memory... Demo/test program also provided

A resource-conscientious, flexible, modular, platform-independent, scalable and robust server based on ircd-ratbox.

minihuff is a data compression library that enables the creation of a static frequency table to be stored at both ends of a connection. This allows effective compression even for very small pieces of data that maintain similar entropy characteristics.

BAR can create compressed, encrypted and splitted archives of files and disk images which can be stored on a disk, cd, dvd, bd or directly on a ftp, scp or sftp server. A server-mode and a scheduler is integrated for making automated backups.

A lossless data compressor. It is a proof of concept for some ideas I had.

New compression method based on bit repacking.

Compresses music from 1/50th to 1/100th its original size by removing dissonant parts of sound and also optimizes it for lower speaker-stress, dynamic equalization (2-3 times less hearing stress at high volume), non-compression modes and much more.

Compression/decompression library, capable of operating on a stream and intended to be used on systems restricted in code and stack size.

LZO is a compression library which is widely used around the world. The main problem with LZO is that it is absolutely not human readable. People have done crazy stuff to get LZO to run in their language. Usually it implies inline assembly or trying to execute data which actually contains machine code. This is sick. Whoever is responsible for this sorry situation ought to be ashamed. So I'm going to deobfuscate LZO and provide a ISC implementation of this algorithm in Python and C. In addition, I will provide a textual description of the algorithm so that it can be easily ported to any programming language. I expect a severe performance degradation, but I leave optimizing for speed to other people.
