[PNG icon] Programming Libraries and Toolkits with PNG Support

Maintenance Note

The PNG-supporting applications and toolkits pages are no longer being actively updated; for several years already, it's been safe to assume that virtually any bitmap-capable image app supports PNG. Corrections are still welcome, particularly for "repurposed domains" (park-spam), but new applications are no longer being added.

Application toolkits allow developers to add image-handling capabilities to their own applications; this page lists the ones that offer PNG support, either for reading or writing or both. Plug-ins that are more relevant to end users are still listed on the miscellaneous apps and browsers pages.

As with the other PNG-applications pages, links to home WWW sites or to downloadable versions are provided where known, but if a link is broken, check the location and see if an updated version is available (and please tell Greg!). Relevant operating systems are printed in (parenthesized italics).


These are listed alphabetically, more or less:
