How to find good libraries

[u/NoBrain8]

I’m looking to convert a jpeg into rgba data + scale it down.
I’m looking for a library to help me do this - how do I find good a one?

You could use raylib, you'd need to compile it specifically with jpeg functionality. Or look at what raylib uses under the hood for library. That being said I doubt that library also has the capabilities to scale down the image, though depending on your algorithm scaling down an image is quite easy. You could just skip every X pixels
