+lib**spng** (**s**imple **png**) is a C library for reading and
+writing Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format files with a focus on
+security and ease of use.
+
+libspng is an alternative to libpng, the projects are separate and the
+APIs are not compatible.
+
+The goal is to provide a fast PNG library with a simpler API than
+https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/blob/libpng16/png.h, it outperforms
+the reference implementation in common use cases.
+
+libspng can be used by xpra for better speed.
