My save files are starting to get large since I'm saving HD images to it and json is way to slow so how, using Serde, can I just save the binary or raw data instead? (eventually will downscale images and otherstuff but for now I just need this)

i like https://docs.rs/bincode/latest/bincode/

bincode - Rust

Bincode is a crate for encoding and decoding using a tiny binary serialization strategy. Using it, you can easily go from having an object in memory, quickly serialize it to bytes, and then deserialize it back just as fast!

#

but what do you mean with "i'm saving images to it"

so I have an array of lets say Cows, and each cow has an image raw Vec<u8>, rgba format

#

and im saving that array to a file

You want to save it as some specific format like JPG?
