[PNG icon] PNG Source Code

For those of you who like to go the do-it-yourself route, here are the tools to make your PNG code go (some of which may also be provided with ready-to-go executables). Some of the code, particularly by members of the PNG Development Group, is still kept up to date at the primary Open Source Lab ftp site, but for most things check the appropriate PNG Applications pages for current links. (This page was previously called Code from the PNG Development Group and later PNG Source Code and Libraries. Now it is simply a list of applications, libraries and toolkits that include source code, with more complete descriptions on the relevant PNG applications pages. The two main PNG-related libraries, libpng and zlib, are linked directly and are still maintained by members of the PNG Group, though.)


Latest releases:

libpng 1.6.43 [license]
zlib 1.3.1 [Y2K] [license]

(See also Quat in the 3D section for another independent, zlib-based, C implementation of a PNG codec.)
