C++ does not include bitmap handling in its standard library, so
technically your question is off-topic in [clc++].

However, there is a very large number of free programs and libraries
that do what you want.

E.g., take a look at <url: http://www.imagemagick .org/>, which is a
collection of both utility programs and libraries; if you want you can
use the C and/or C++ interfaces, but I'd just script the thing.
