It was convenient for a one-off app, but it doesn't work with all images.

Possible replacements

CImg (single header file, C++, massive feature bloat)
FreeImage (requires switch to GPL, big dependency)
Direct bindings to libpng, libjpeg (requires manual image scaling algorithm)
ImageMagick

CImg was the deemed to be the best option.
