It decodes JPEG and JPEG-LS images into NumPy arrays, supporting both standalone use and integration with DICOM workflows. The package handles multiple DICOM transfer syntaxes including JPEG Baseline, JPEG Extended, JPEG Lossless, and JPEG-LS variants.\n\nThe package is built on compiled C++ bindings and ships with pre-built wheels for modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.13) across Linux, macOS, and Windows, reducing installation complexity for most users. It depends only on NumPy and is maintained as part of the pydicom project. Encoding is not currently supported; the focus is on decoding medical and standard JPEG formats.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need JPEG or JPEG-LS decoding in a DICOM or scientific imaging context. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers broad platform support. The GPL v3.0 copyleft license is a hard blocker for closed-source projects; open-source and research users should install without hesitation. Encoding is not supported, so it is not suitable for JPEG generation workflows."},"id":"pylibjpeg-libjpeg","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylibjpeg-libjpeg","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylibjpeg-libjpeg.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylibjpeg-libjpeg/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pylibjpeg-libjpeg","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python wrapper for libjpeg, with a focus on use as a plugin for for pylibjpeg"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":251404,"position":8584,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
