The Arm® Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) Encoder, astcenc, is
a command-line tool for compressing and decompressing images using the ASTC
texture compression standard.
The ASTC compressed data format, developed by Arm® and AMD, has been adopted as an official extension to the OpenGL®, OpenGL ES, and Vulkan® graphics APIs. It provides a major step forward in terms of both the image quality at a given bitrate, and the format and bitrate flexibility available to content creators. This allows more assets to use compression, often at a reduced bitrate compared to other formats, reducing memory storage and bandwidth requirements.
Read the ASTC Format Overview for a quick introduction to the format, or read the full Khronos Data Format Specification for all the details.

The encoder supports compression of low dynamic range (BMP, JPEG, PNG, TGA) and high dynamic range (EXR, HDR) images, as well as a subset of image data wrapped in the DDS and KTX container formats, into ASTC or KTX format output images.
The decoder supports decompression of ASTC or KTX format input images into low dynamic range (BMP, PNG, TGA), high dynamic range (EXR, HDR), or DDS and KTX wrapped output images.
The encoder allows control over the compression time/quality tradeoff with
exhaustive, verythorough, thorough, medium, fast, and fastest
encoding quality presets.
The encoder allows compression time and quality analysis by reporting the compression time, and the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) between the input image and the compressed output.
The astcenc compressor supports generation of images for all three profiles
allowed by the ASTC specification:
It also supports all of the ASTC block sizes and compression modes, allowing content creators to use the full spectrum of quality-to-bitrate options ranging from 0.89 bits/pixel up to 8 bits/pixel.
Release build binaries for the astcenc stable releases are provided in the
GitHub Releases page.
Binaries are provided for 64-bit builds on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For Windows and Linux the builds of the astcenc are provided as multiple binaries, each tuned for a specific SIMD instruction set.
For x86-64 we provide, in order of increasing performance:
astcenc-sse2 - uses SSE2astcenc-sse4.1 - uses SSE4.1 and POPCNTastcenc-avx2 - uses AVX2, SSE4.2, POPCNT, and F16CThe x86-64 SSE2 builds will work on all x86-64 machines, but it is the slowest of the three. The other two require extended CPU instruction set support which is not universally available, but each step gains ~15% more performance.
For Arm we provide, in order of increasing performance:
astcenc-sve_256 - uses 256-bit SVEastcenc-sve_128 - uses 128-bit SVEastcenc-neon - uses NEONNote: The Arm Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE) allow CPUs to have a variable vector length. The astcenc implementation is not written in a length-agnostic style and requires the binary to match the vector length on the host CPU.
For macOS devices we provide a single universal binary astcenc, which allows
the OS to automatically use the correct binary variant for the current host
machine. Support is provided for three architecture slices:
x86_64 - uses the astcenc-sse4.1 build defined above.x86_64h - uses the astcenc-avx2 build defined above.arm64 - uses the astcenc-neon build defined above.The main branch is an active development branch for the compressor. It aims
to be a stable branch for the latest major release series, but as it is used
for ongoing development expect it to have some volatility. We recommend using
the latest stable release tag for production development.
The 4.x branch is a stable branch for the older 4.x release series. It is no
longer under active development, but is a supported branch that continues to
get back-ported bug fixes.
The 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x branches are stable branches for older releases.
They are no longer under active development or getting bug fixes.
Any other branches you might find are development branches for new features or optimizations, so might be interesting to play with but should be considered transient and unstable.
Open a terminal, change to the appropriate directory for your system, and run the astcenc encoder program, like this on Linux or macOS:
./astcenc
... or like this on Windows:
astcenc
Invoking astcenc -help gives an extensive help message, including usage
instructions and details of all available command line options. A summary of
the main encoder options are shown below.
Compress an image using the -cl \ -cs \ -ch \ -cH modes. For example:
astcenc -cl example.png example.astc 6x6 -medium
This compresses example.png using the LDR color profile and a 6x6 block
footprint (3.56 bits/pixel). The -medium quality preset gives a reasonable
image quality for a relatively fast compression speed, so is a good starting
point for compression. The output is stored to a linear color space compressed
image, example.astc.
The modes available are:
-cl : use the linear LDR color profile.-cs : use the sRGB LDR color profile.-ch : use the HDR color profile, tuned for HDR RGB and LDR A.-cH : use the HDR color profile, tuned for HDR RGBA.If you intend to use the resulting image with the decode mode extensions to
limit the decompressed precision to UNORM8, it is recommended that you also
specify the -decode_unorm8 flag. This will ensure that the compressor uses
the correct rounding rules when choosing encodings.
Decompress an image using the -dl \ -ds \ -dh \ -dH modes. For example:
astcenc -dh example.astc example.tga
This decompresses example.astc using the full HDR feature profile, storing
the decompressed output to example.tga.
The modes available mirror the options used for compression, but use a d
prefix. Note that for decompression there is no difference between the two HDR
modes, they are both provided simply to maintain symmetry across operations.
Review the compression quality using the -tl \ -ts \ -th \ -tH modes.
For example:
astcenc -tl example.png example.tga 5x5 -thorough
This is equivalent to using using the LDR color profile and a 5x5 block size
to compress the image, using the -thorough quality preset, and then
immediately decompressing the image and saving the result. This can be used
to enable a visual inspection of the compressed image quality. In addition
this mode also prints out some image quality metrics to the console.
The modes available mirror the options used for compression, but use a t
prefix.
Efficient real-time graphics benefits from minimizing compressed texture size, as it reduces memory footprint, reduces memory bandwidth, saves energy, and can improve texture cache efficiency. However, like any lossy compression format there will come a point where the compressed image quality is unacceptable because there are simply not enough bits to represent the output with the precision needed. We recommend experimenting with the block footprint to find the optimum balance between size and quality, as the finely adjustable compression ratio is one of major strengths of the ASTC format.
The compression speed can be controlled from -fastest, through -fast,
-medium and -thorough, up to -exhaustive. In general, the more time the
encoder has to spend looking for good encodings the better the results, but it
does result in increasingly small improvements for the amount of time required.
There are many other command line options for tuning the encoder parameters which can be used to fine tune the compression algorithm. See the command line help message for more details.
The ASTC Format Overview page provides a high level introduction to the ASTC texture format, how it encodes data, and why it is both flexible and efficient.
