Facebook shares new image compression technology on GitHub

Currently, photos uploaded to the Internet are growing in size as smartphone camera technology gets better and better, making capacity and download time longer.

To solve this problem, Facebook recently released a new image compression technology called Spectrum, which can help upload images faster as open source. This technology promises to help mobile device manufacturers address the need for image compression.

Spectrum is developed on an open source platform so it can be integrated into iOS and Android projects. This means that users can catch it on non-Facebook applications.

Spectrum promises to help application developers save program writing time. According to information from Facebook, the Spectrum is capable of reducing file sizes up to 15% while maintaining their image quality.

Currently, the Spectrum open source project is available on GitHub.
