PictureSharp

A pure managed image processing library for .NET. No native dependencies.

PictureSharp reads, writes and processes WebP, PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PCX and ICO in 100% C# for .NET 10 and later, with no NuGet dependencies, native libraries or P/Invoke. Output is verified pixel for pixel against libwebp, libjpeg-turbo and Pillow.

Format Read Write
WebP ✔ lossy, lossless, alpha, animation ✔ lossy, lossless, near-lossless, alpha, animation
PNG ✔ all color types and bit depths, APNG ✔ gray, RGB(A), palette, Adam7, APNG
JPEG ✔ baseline, progressive, CMYK/YCCK ✔ baseline, progressive, 4:4:4–4:2:0
BMP ✔ palette, RLE, bit fields, alpha, embedded PNG/JPEG ✔ 1/4/8/24/32-bit
GIF ✔ GIF87a/89a, interlace, transparency, animation ✔ exact or quantized palettes, dithering, animation
ICO ✔ PNG, DIB 1/4/8/24/32-bit ✔ PNG or 32-bit DIB, multiple sizes
PCX ✔ 1–8 bit, 24-bit RGB, 32-bit RGBA ✔ 1/4/8/24/32-bit, RLE
  • Resizing, geometry, color adjustments, filters, compositing and EXIF auto-orientation
  • Levels, gamma, auto contrast, histograms, trimming, alpha masks and W3C blend modes
  • Conversion of ICC and PNG color descriptions to sRGB, linear-light resize and compositing
  • Fast JPEG thumbnails decoded at 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 scale
  • Frame-by-frame reading and writing of GIF, APNG and WebP animations
  • Typed EXIF and ICC/XMP metadata, editable without recompressing the image
  • HDR photos with gain maps (ISO 21496-1, Apple): reconstruction, tone mapping, editing and saving as JPEG
  • Limits for untrusted input and cancellation of all long-running work
  • SIMD on x64 and ARM64, bit-identical to the scalar code
  • Extensible with format plugins (including HDR gain maps and metadata) and custom processors
  • Optional adapter packages for System.Drawing, SkiaSharp and ASP.NET Core

Quick start

using PictureSharp;

using var image = await Image.LoadAsync("photo.jpg");
image.Mutate(x => x
    .AutoOrient()
    .Resize(1600, 0)                 // 0 keeps the aspect ratio
    .UnsharpMask());
await image.SaveAsync("photo.webp");  // the format comes from the extension

using Image thumbnail = image.Clone(x => x.Thumbnail(256, 256));
thumbnail.Save("thumbnail.png");

Mutate edits the image; Clone returns an edited copy.

0.7.1 adds ImageDecodeContext.AttachGainMap(metadata, map, detected), so format plugins report every gain map model a file declares (for example ISO 21496-1 and Apple metadata in HEIC files from iOS 18). No breaking API changes. Notes: https://github.com/art-ix/PictureSharp/blob/v0.7.1/docs/releases/release-0.7.1.md
