Welcome to the LuraWaveŽ Plug-in

LuraWave® is a state-of-the-art file format that uses wavelet-based compression to reduce file sizes, while achieving better image quality than conventional methods (such as JPEG and TIFF). LuraWave efficiently compresses images, so that transmission takes a fraction of the time it would take without compression.

LuraWave compression is based on wavelet algorithms (mathematical expressions that encode an image into a series of decomposed bands). Each band contains a representation of the entire image, with the various bands containing details of the image at every level, from textures to fine details. A JPEG compresses images in 8x8 blocks, resulting in blocking artifacts at high compression rates. LuraWave's wavelet technology allows for richer content and higher resolution at a fraction of the original size.
