ajpeg v0.0.15

AJPEG (Alpha-JPEG)

PNG File size can be a hassle. This library provides transparency support to JPEG images allowing you to get lightweight images and speed up your page load.

AJPEG GULP encoder allows you to split PNG file into 2 separate files :

• a JPEG file without transparency that you can compress
• a PNG file containing the alpha channel only

The decoder loads the 2 files and fast restore the alpha channel using native html canvas composite operation.
