How to know the length of the lossless compressed file? #556

Open yuffon opened 4 years ago

Now I have a number of images stored in numpy file. I want to use FLIF to compress them losslessly and count the length? Does this library provide API to count the length directly?

FLIF development has stopped since FLIF is superceded by FUIF and then again by JPEG XL (https://jpeg.org/jpegxl/index.html), which is based on a combination of Pik and FUIF. A royalty-free and open source reference implementation of JPEG XL is available on GitLab.

Thank you for your reply. I am investigating a project. In this project, the author uses FLIF to compress files. I want to know the length of the compressed file. I see that the flif file format contains several headers in front of the file. So I want to know the length of the rest part.

I am not familiar enough with the actual file format to help you with this.
