DevIL


Developer's Image Library or DevIL, started by Denton Woods, is a cross-platform image library which aims to provide a common API for different image file formats. It consists of three parts: the main library, the utility library and the utility toolkit, mirroring the corresponding parts of OpenGL.
It was originally called OpenIL; the name was changed at a request from Silicon Graphics, Inc.
DevIL currently supports 43 file formats for reading and 17 for writing; among those with read-write support are BMP, DDS, JPEG, PCX, PNG, raw, TGA, and TIFF. The actual supported formats depend on compilation settings, in particular, external libraries like libjpeg and libpng.
According to the website, DevIL is still licensed under the terms of the LGPL. DevIl is listed in the directory of the Free Software Foundation as Free Software.
