BPG (Better Portable Graphics) is a new image format
BPG Better Portable Graphics is a new image format. Its purpose is to replace the JPEG image format when quality or file size is an issue. Its main advantages are
- High compression ratio. Files are much smaller than JPEG for similar quality.

- Based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression standard.
- Supports the same chroma formats as JPEG grayscale, YCbCr 420, 422, 444 to reduce the losses during the conversion. An alpha channel is supported. The RGB, YCgCo and CMYK color spaces are also supported.

- Lossless compression is supported.
- Various metadata such as EXIF, ICC profile, XMP can be included.
