PNG and MNG tools

This is an open source project to develop tools for use in creating and manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics), MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics), and JNG (JPEG Network Graphics) files.

The Sourceforge project page for pmt is here.

At present, PMT tools include:

• pngcrush, which is used for optimizing the compression of PNG files.

• pngmeta, by Dave Beckett.

• bmp2png/png2bmp, by MIYASAKA Masaru.

• A Browser Gamma Test.

• Test files containing various ICC profiles.

• Test file containing iTXt chunks.

• A plan for conversion of Exif and TIFF/EP image files to and from PNG and JNG.

• We plan to work on some other MNG and JNG supporting tools, but they fall in the vaporware category right now.

The PNG, MNG, and JNG specifications are here.
