You might want to have a look at such libraries as CImg, FreeImage and DevIL. Take your pick. There are plenty more.

The simplest one (and best, IMO) is stb_image. This is a single C source file that has decoders for JPG, PNG, TGA, BMP and PSD! Read the comments at the top of the file if you want to generate a header file for it.
