 # vips-ffm
 
-A thin wrapper to let Java/JVM projects use [libvips](https://github.com/libvips/libvips), via the
-"Foreign Function & Memory API" ([JEP 454](https://openjdk.org/jeps/454)) released in JDK 22.
+[libvips](https://github.com/libvips/libvips) bindings for JVM projects, using the "Foreign Function & Memory API"
+([JEP 454](https://openjdk.org/jeps/454)) released in JDK 22. The combination of libvips and FFM makes for performant, safe, and ergonomic image
+manipulation in JVM systems, supporting a vast range of image formats, including HEIC, JXL, WebP, PNG, JPEG, and more.
