About:
SDL3_image is an official companion library to SDL3 for loading images into surfaces or textures. It supports common formats like PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP via stb_image or system libraries. It simplifies asset loading for games and multimedia applications.
Key Features:
  • Supports PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, WebP, and more
  • Seamless integration with SDL3 surfaces and textures
  • Configurable backends (stb_image or system libraries)
Use Cases:
  • Game asset loading for SDL-based applications
  • Cross-platform image decoding without external dependencies
  • Prototyping multimedia tools that require image I/O
Alternatives:
  • SDL2_image – Legacy SDL2 version; SDL3_image targets the newer SDL3 API
  • libpng + libjpeg – Lower-level libraries; SDL3_image provides a unified, SDL-friendly API
