  I'm looking for a library to load and save images (PNG, JPEG ...)

  So far I saw:

  • Nim-OpenCV, no update since Nov. 2015
  • Nimage, no update since Aug. 2016
  • nimPNG, supported
  • nim-jpeg, no update since Aug. 2016
  • sdl2, part of standard lib but depends on SDL2
  • stb_image, seems well tested and in any case stb_image is just a C header file.

  Did I miss some options? Which ones are people using?

  well sdl2 is not part of the standlard lib, it is just on the nim-lang github account. And IMG_SavePNG from SDL2_image is not documented. It works and can be used but it is non-official.

  Well when it is about, what could be ported, I would add this, but it is currently without a nim version: https://github.com/g-truc/gli

  Maybe this one should also be mentioned for a good candidate to write a wrapper for: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

  I haven seen a couple of times stb in nim projects, for example https://github.com/yglukhov/nimx/blob/4eee9b0e5d237726041ec3b03ae3cf3fb7bf19c4/nimx/write_image_impl.nim

  The nim wrapper for ImageMagick looks pretty neat and useful here:
