Came here to suggest libvips, but whilst checking my facts discovered that even it too has an (optional) dependency on ImageMagick.

That's optional and only for loading (not saving!) of additional filetypes outside the ones implemented by libvips itself.

PhotoStructure (very happily) uses libvips (via sharp) and doesn't include any ImageMagick pieces-parts.
