qarmin/czkawka 10.0.0 on GitHub

Version 10.0.0 - 18.08.2025r

Some languages now have unified names in Crowdin (e.g. es → es-ES). The GUI may not find them and will fall back to the default language.
Cache files now use memory limits and are incompatible with previous versions.
Cli image filter argument changed from faussian to gaussian

stop_flag is now required argument in most of the core functions
Visibility of some core functions has been reduced to pub(crate)
The modules in czkawka_core have been split and reorganized a bit — imports need to be adjusted, although the actual behavior and item names should not be changed too much

AppImage binaries are no longer provided due to random bugs (not present in other packaging formats) and minimal added value compared to prebuilt Linux binaries or Flatpak
HEIF Mac binaries are now provided
CI now builds Linux binaries on Ubuntu 22.04 instead of 20.04(github removed 20.04 images)
musl builds of czkawka_cli are now provided instead of eyra builds (slightly easier to maintain). GUI builds are not included due to limitations of musl and eyra :(
Prebuilt Windows console binaries are no longer provided — logs are now saved to a file, which is easier to read than terminal output
Skia opengl and vulkan backends are provided for Krokiet on Linux(no binaries on Windows, because don't know how to replace sed)
Prebuilt binaries are now build with lto fat instead lto thin and codegen-units=1 to greatly reduce binary size(~25% smaller binaries)

If you are a beginner and don't know which version to use, start with one of these depending on your OS (if they don’t work, try different builds):
- Windows – windows_krokiet_on_linux, windows_czkawka_gui_gtk_46
- Mac – mac_krokiet_x86_64, mac_krokiet_arm, mac_czkawka_gui_x86_64, mac_czkawka_gui_arm
- Linux – linux_krokiet_skia_opengl_x86_64, linux_krokiet_x86_64, linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64
krokiet – graphical version of the app (recommended over the GTK version)
gtk_gui – graphical GTK version of the app
cli – command-line version of the app
gtk_46, gtk_412 – GTK versions used to build the Windows app. On some systems gtk_46 works, on others gtk_412, so choose the one that works on your computer.
arm, x86_64 – CPU architecture. Most Windows/Linux uses x86_64, while on Mac the arm version is becoming the most common choice. (To run the app, you need to use the correct one.)
heif, raw, avif – additional features that require extra libraries installed on the OS
skia_opengl, skia_vulkan – alternative Linux backends for Krokiet; may fix some issues like blurry fonts
