A modern, API-compatible graphics framework built on ImageSharp delivers native-free imaging across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / November 24, 2025 / Ice Tea Group, creators of the enterprise-grade web framework Wisej.NET, today announced the release of a fully managed, cross-platform implementation of System.Drawing for .NET, delivering a modern graphics framework that runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS - without relying on libgdiplus or GDI+.
Built in collaboration with Six Labors, using their high-performance ImageSharp engine, the new implementation provides a predictable, fully managed alternative to the now Windows-only System.Drawing.Common library. By combining a familiar API surface with a modern imaging core, Ice Tea Group is offering .NET developers a long-awaited solution to a persistent cross-platform challenge.
Main Features
Fully managed: No native libgdiplus, GDI+, or platform-specific shims
Cross-platform: Uniform support across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android
Modern .NET: Designed for the latest versions of .NET Framework and .NET Core
High-performance foundation: Powered by ImageSharp's SIMD-accelerated engine
API-compatible by design: Minimizes migration friction for existing applications
"Enterprises and teams running cross-platform workloads need predictable, supported graphics capabilities without the fragility of native shims," said Luca Pivato, CTO at Ice Tea Group. "With this release, we are delivering a modern, fully managed System.Drawing implementation that brings reliability, performance, and portability to .NET developers everywhere."
