I was going to say that this uses libpng, not ImageMagick.
But I see this has been changed in master v 24.5.
I see no relevant NEWS entry.

Previously (IIRC) we recommended against making such a change, precisely
because ImageMagick seemed to be a bit flakier than more "traditional"
image libraries.

(eww/shr is different since it uses ImageMagick so it can rescale.)
