Worry-Free File Format Support
With support for more than 100 image formats—backed by the
AccuSoft Image Guarantee—count on our .NET imaging SDKs to help you with worry-free imaging development. With our versatile .NET imaging toolkits, you’ll accelerate development of your Visual Studio solutions and .NET Framework applications using fully managed code.
The chart below lists the supported .NET SDK file formats with additional information such as read/write capabilities, bit depths, and multi-page ability. If you are looking to develop outside of the .NET Framework,
browse our other imaging SDK formats.

How do I use the chart?
For example, if you need to develop an 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.
