Yes, ImageMagick does the job, as do many other libraries. I’m using 
this in WeasyPrint, where I also use Pango and thus depend on glib 
anyway, so GDK-PixBuf makes sense.

CFFI also allows doing this in Python without compiling custom C code 
(which helps for portability.)

That said, I would be glad to see code examples for doing the same with 
ImageMagick or other libraries.
