- LZO 2.10 has been released; a small update that fixes various build issues.
- LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C.
- Offers pretty fast compression and *extremely* fast decompression.
- One of the fastest compression and decompression algorithms
around. See the ratings for lzop in the famous
Archive Comparison
Test .
- Includes slower compression levels achieving a quite
competitive compression ratio while still decompressing at this very
high speed.
- Distributed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License (GPL v2+).
Commercial licenses are available through our
LZO Professional license program.
-
LZO is distributed as portable ANSI C source code.

miniLZO is a very lightweight subset of the LZO library
intended for easy inclusion with your application.
It is generated automatically from the LZO source code and
contains the most important LZO functions.
-
Very easy to use - it only takes a few minutes to add data compression to your application!

- If you need better compression you should take a look at the
excellent zlib library. zlib is slower and needs
more memory, though.
- For even better compression consider using libbzip2 which is
distributed with the bzip2 file
compressor.
- The file compressor application lzop
uses LZO - it is very similar to gzip
but much faster.
