You could also use a library which offers access to many different image
formats (without requiring those individual libraries themselves).  For
instance:

https://github.com/nothings/stb

Or use ImageMagick directly (faster than using its CLI to conver things):

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-wand.php

Or use libgd:
