## Function Parameters

|                 |                                                                                       |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **surface**     | the SDL surface to save                                                               |
| **dst**         | the SDL_IOStream to save the image data to.                                           |
| **closeio**     | SDL_TRUE to close/free the SDL_IOStream before returning, SDL_FALSE to leave it open. |
| **quality**     | the desired quality, ranging between 0 (lowest) and 100 (highest)                     |

## Return Value

Returns 0 if successful, -1 on error.

## Remarks

If you just want to save to a filename, you can use
[IMG_SaveAVIF](IMG_SaveAVIF)() instead.

If `closeio` is SDL_TRUE, `dst` will be closed before returning, whether
this function succeeds or not.

## Version

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0.
