welcome to tinyff

tinyff is a small, embeddable C library for reading and writing sensory file formats — images, audio, 3D, fonts, and more.

why tinyff?

over here are tinyff inc, we hate the selfishness that gets shipped along with all these other multimedia libraries. they always assume the prescense of an allocator and a file which contains the media. so to help out with people need more accessibility for embedded and unsupported systems, tinyff stands by it bring your own allocator and custom streams to make tinyff be the last multimedia library you will ever have to use.

what can i do with it?

not much yet since tinyff has just started (and right now is a perfect time for you to consider becoming a contributer), check out the github.

where do i start?

hey there, just letting you know tinyff is still nonproduction level so lots of things will still be a bit messy. maybe consider being a contributer

if you're new — head to building tinyff and get it compiling. then load your first image.

if you want to understand the design — the context is the best place to start.

if you want to contribute — read about format stewardship. own a format. ship something real. put it on your CV.

tinyff is open source, actively developed, and looking for format stewards. if you build something with it, we'd love to know.
