Worry-Free File Format Support
With support for more than 100 image formats—backed by the
AccuSoft Image Guarantee—count on our DLL imaging SDKs to help you with worry-free imaging development. With our versatile DLL imaging toolkits, you’ll accelerate development of your imaging applications with our comprehensive formats support.
The chart below lists the supported file formats in our DLL imaging SDKs with additional information such as read/write capabilities, bit depths, and multi-page ability. If you are looking to develop outside of DLL,
browse our other imaging SDK formats.
DLL Imaging SDK Supported File Formats
How do I use the chart?
For example, if you need to develop an DLL application with bitmap support, read across the BMP row. The chart shows that ImageGear can read and write files with 1, 4, 8, 9-16, 24 and 32-bit data.
