Hello, does anyone know which image types SFML supports (specifically)? And if it differs, which for opening, and which for saving?

Thanks!

INL

Failed to load image "media/anim(256x256)90f.png". Reason : PNG not supported: 8-bit only

There seems to be some exceptions?

Yes, 8 bits only PNGs are an exception

Do sfml check for magicnumber or extension?

Image loading is done by the SOIL library (which uses stb_image), but I think it checks the file header, not the extension.
