Powering a Better Web
Hello, we're Halide Compression. We are building multimedia compression technology that is fast, efficient, and designed around the human visual system. We believe in a more beautiful Web, and we are here to help build it.
Frontier compression expertise
We build encoders and tools to measure their efficiency. Then, we help teams ship the results. Everything we make is grounded in how images actually look to people.
Encoder engineering
Custom encoders and low-level codec optimizations.
Perceptual quality
Fast perceptual image quality metrics and rigorous performance analysis, so quality holds up under scrutiny.
Consulting
On-site and off-site consulting for organizations that need image and video infrastructure at scale.
Iris-WebP
A faster, more efficient WebP encoder designed around the intricacies of the human visual system, and evaluated under industry-leading psychovisual metrics.
From the blog
Research notes, encoder deep dives, and interviews from the compression world.
Introducing fmetrics
Faster perceptual video and image fidelity metrics.

Metrics don't just measure encoder performance; decoding matters too, and even after decoding, not all post-processing is created equal.
