rusty_jpeg

Rust alternative to libjpeg, ending classic JPEG heap overflows on upload paths

rusty_jpeg is the Remade with Rust pin for this lane: keep the product shape, change the safety floor, and stop shipping the old C or cloud default by accident.

Instant benefit

In the wild: RAG Converter uses rustyjpeg to decode the images. It makes personal and work files AI-readable without them leaving the machine: the whole conversion runs as WebAssembly in the browser tab, with nothing uploaded and nothing to install. This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
