Najlepszym rozwiązaniem jest znalezienie dobrze sprawdzonej biblioteki. Jednak powiedziałeś, że jest to trudne, więc oto jakiś podejrzany, w dużej mierze nieprzetestowany kod, który powinien działać w sporej liczbie przypadków:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

Miejmy nadzieję, że kod jest dość oczywisty. Aby dodać nowy format pliku, dodajesz go do imageFormatDecodersklucza będącego tablicą „magicznych bitów”, które pojawiają się na początku każdego pliku o podanym formacie, a wartością jest funkcja wyodrębniająca rozmiar ze strumienia. Większość formatów jest dość prosta, jedynym prawdziwym smrodem jest jpeg.
