Use the libjpeg-turbo library

The libjpeg-turbo library creates jpeg in a more efficient way that the default libjpeg library. To use it in GeoServer, two things must be installed: the library itself and the libjpeg-turbo Map Encoder extension.

Installing the libjpeg-turbo library

To install the library in a Windows machine, follow these steps:

  1. Download the library installer for the libjpeg-turbo download page

  2. Execute the installer and follow the installation instructions.
