Using libpng in C#

Question

if you want to save the image in PNG format you can use ImageFormat class of .Net. But this class doesn't implemented compression for PNG files. And for some reasons i can't save my file in JPEG format. After Some researched i know libpng is the official PNG reference library. But i can't find anything for using it in .net framework. Does anyone know about this library and using it in .NET?

ImageMagick is a very nice library that allows you (among other things) create PNG files. Magick.NET is the .Net wrapper for this library. Using this library, you can simply convert/create image formats. E.g. from their documentation:

using (MagickImage image = new MagickImage("Snakeware.gif"))
{
   image.Write("Snakeware.jpg");
}
