A free and open source library project aimed at graphic developers.
If you're a developer looking to support graphic image formats, FreeImage is an open source library project which may be of interest to you. It supports popular formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF and others, which are needed by multimedia applications today. The library is multithreading safe, fast, easy to use, and compatible with all 32-bit versions of Windows. It is also cross-platform, meaning it works well with Mac OS X and Linux.
FreeImage uses ANSI C interface, which enables usage in numerous languages such as C, C++, Java, VB, C#, Delphi, and common scripting languages like Perl, PHP, TCL, Python, or Ruby. The library comes in two formats: a binary DLL distribution that can be linked to any WIN32 C/C++ compiler, and a source distribution. Workspace files for Microsoft VS.Net 2003 and VS.Net 2005 are available, along with makefiles for Linux and Mac OS X.
FreeImage supports a wide range of file formats including BMP, Dr. Halo, DDS, EXR, Raw Fax G3, GIF, HDR, ICO, IFF, JBIG, JNG, JPEG/JIF, JPEG-2000 File Format, JPEG-2000 codestream, KOALA, Kodak PhotoCD, MNG, PCX, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPM, PhotoShop, Sun RAS, SGI, TARGA, TIFF, WBMP, XBM, and XPM.
