PAIN is a deliberately inefficient image format that encrypts each pixel using SHA3-512 hashing. It's a joke format designed to make your CPU suffer.
- 🐌 Extremely slow processing
- 💾 Massive file bloat
- 🔥 CPU-melting decryption
- 🧵 Multi-threaded (but still painful)
- 🎨 Supports any input image format
- 😈 Perfect for torturing hardware
width:height;[SHA3-512(pixel1)];[SHA3-512(pixel2)];...
Each pixel is encoded as: 0xRRGGBBAA → SHA3-512 hash

| Operation | Speed | Pain Level |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | Okay ⚡ | 😐 |
| Decryption | Glacial 🐌 | 😱 |
| File Size | Huge 💾 | 🤯 |
Because sometimes we need to remind ourselves that efficiency isn't everything.
