Better Portable Graphics (BPG) is a raster image format created by Fabrice Bellard. It is intended as a compression-efficient alternative to the JPEG image format. It is based on the intra-frame encoding of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video compression standard, and various metadata profiles (such as EXIF, ICC profile, XMP) are supported.
