Its project page describes it as a tool for informative JPEG listings, error checks, and optional deletion of broken JPEG files. ### Project history The README records copyright years starting in 1995 and lists v1.0 as the first public release. The program was built on IJG libjpeg and kept the style of traditional command-line inspection tools: one binary, option flags, report columns, and exit codes suitable for shell scripts. Later releases added checksum support, GNU autoconf configuration, comment and Exif recognition, CSV and JSON output, stdin support, and stronger digest options. GitHub releases in January and October 2023 document the modern 1.6 and 1.7 series. ### Adoption history jpeginfo appears in Unix package collections as a companion to image-processing pipelines, especially where maintainers need a lightweight integrity checker rather than a full image editor. Its availability through Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Ubuntu, and openSUSE reflects that quiet utility role. ### How it is used Typical use is batch inspection of JPEG dimensions, markers, progressive/non-progressive status, comments, and optional checksum columns. The `--check` mode makes it useful in scripts that reject damaged uploads or clean photo archives. ### Why package nerds care jpeginfo is package-nerd useful because it exposes low-level JPEG facts without dragging in a heavyweight graphics stack. It pairs naturally with `jpegoptim`: one tool checks and reports, the other rewrites and compresses. ### Timeline - 1995: Copyright period begins in the upstream README. - v1.0: First public release, as listed in the upstream history. - 2023-01-08: v1.6.2 added SHA-256 digest support and improved Win32 support. - 2023-01-16: v1.7.0 added CSV output, JSON output, stdin support, headers, and SHA-512 support. - 2023-10-29: v1.7.1 added `--files-from` and `--files-stdin`. ### Related projects - Related projects include IJG libjpeg, libjpeg-turbo, mozjpeg, and jpegoptim. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** jpeginfo - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - jpeginfo - 1.7.1+dfsg-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: jpeginfo from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Prints information and tests integrity of JPEG/JFIF files | https://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.html - Nix - jpeginfo: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/jp/jpeginfo/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - jpeginfo - 1.7.1+dfsg-1build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: jpeginfo from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Prints information and tests integrity of JPEG/JFIF files | https://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.html - dnf - jpeginfo - 1.7.1-8.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: jpeginfo from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Error-check and generate informative listings from JPEG files | http://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.html - zypper - jpeginfo - 1.7.1-1.2: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: jpeginfo from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Generate informative listings from JPEG files and check them for errors | https://github.com/tjko/jpeginfo - MacPorts - jpeginfo: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: multimedia/jpeginfo/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [Web development packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/web-dev-tools/) - Matched web development metadata. - [jpeg-turbo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jpeg-turbo/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [autoconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/autoconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [jpegoptim](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jpegoptim/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, jpeg, media. - [epeg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/epeg/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, jpeg, media. - [exempi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exempi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-metadata, media. - [exif](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exif/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-metadata, media. - [exiftags](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exiftags/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, jpeg, media. - [exiftool](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exiftool/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-metadata, media. - [exiftran](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exiftran/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, jpeg, media. - [leptonica](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/leptonica/) - Both packages work with overlapping file formats or content types.
