qtimageformats

brew install qtimageformats v6.11.1 (LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND BSD-3-Clause

Qt image format plugins for TIFF, MNG, TGA, WBMP, and additional formats beyond the core library.

Why you might care

Qt applications need these plugins to load and display image formats beyond the built-in support in qtbase. Install this if you're developing Qt GUI applications that handle diverse image inputs or if your Qt-based tools require broader format compatibility. It's a runtime dependency for many Qt projects.
