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: https://libgd.github.io/ -- Thomas Adam
