These tools are for reading image file formats. Not all of them support loading directly into OpenGL Textures; some are pure image loaders.

Name	Description
DevIL	Supports many image formats for reading and writing. It supports several compilers and OSes (Win, Linux, Mac OSX). The library has a OpenGL-like syntax. It has not been updated recently.
FreeImage	A cross-platform image loading library with very wide support for image formats (including some HDR formats like OpenEXR).
GLI	A small cross-platform C++ image library able to load DDS textures (DDS9 and DDS10), compressed or uncompressed. It is licensed under the MIT license.
GLAUX	Ancient .BMP loader. Never use this.
