Robust and performant PNG decoder/encoder in pure Rust. Also supports [APNG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG).
No `unsafe` code, battle-tested, and fuzzed on [OSS-fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz).
## Performance
Performance is typically on par with or better than libpng.
Includes a fast encoding mode powered by [fdeflate](https://crates.io/crates/fdeflate) that is dramatically faster than the fastest mode of libpng while *simultaneously* providing better compression ratio.
On nightly Rust compiler you can slightly speed up decoding of some images by enabling the `unstable` feature of this crate.
