These might change your mind on reliability: https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/issues https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/issues ; http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html section "Security and Crash Bugs in Older Versions"; https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7294/Libpng.html https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7294...
