KTX-Software | KTX Library and Tools | Graphics library

KTX-Software is a C++ library typically used in User Interface, Graphics applications. KTX-Software has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However KTX-Software has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

This is the official home of the source code for the Khronos KTX library and tools. KTX (Khronos Texture) is a lightweight container for textures for OpenGL, Vulkan and other GPU APIs. KTX files contain all the parameters needed for texture loading. A single file can contain anything from a simple base-level 2D texture through to a cubemap array texture with mipmaps. Contained textures can be in a Basis Universal format, in any of the block-compressed formats supported by OpenGL family and Vulkan APIs and extensions or in an uncompressed single-plane format. Basis Universal currently encompasses two formats that can be quickly transcoded to any GPU-supported format: LZ/ETC1S, which combines block-compression and supercompression, and UASTC, a block-compressed format. Formats other than LZ/ETC1S can be supercompressed with Zstd. Download KTX Software Releases to get binary packages of the tools, library and development headers described below. The Releases page also has packages with the Javascript wrappers and .wasm binaries. See the Doxygen generated live documentation for API and tool usage information.

IMPORTANT: you must install the Git LFS command line extension in order to fully checkout this repository after cloning. You need at least version 1.1. If you did not have Git LFS installed at first checkout then, after installing it, you must run.
