The Windows Imaging Component (WIC) is a Component Object Model based imaging codec framework introduced in Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 3 for working with and processing digital images and image metadata. It allows applications supporting the framework to automatically get support of installed codecs for graphics file formats. It is similar to DirectShow, or ACM/VCM, in that it can be extended using image codecs and can support third-party graphics formats on a system-wide basis. Additionally, Windows Presentation Foundation applications also automatically support the installed image codecs. Codecs for RAW image formats used by high-end professional digital cameras are also supported in this manner. WIC enables application developers to perform image processing operations on any image format through a single set of common APIs, without requiring prior knowledge of specific image formats. By writing a codec once for WIC, developers can get system-wide support for that graphics file format in all applications that use WIC or WPF. Windows Imaging Component also supports Windows Color System, the ICC V4-compliant color management technology in Windows Vista.

Windows Imaging Component also supports Windows Color System, the ICC V4-compliant color management technology in Windows Vista. In Windows Vista: Windows Explorer, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Photo Gallery Viewer are based on Windows Imaging Component and can thus view/organize images in any format for which the WIC codecs are installed.
