Squeak (and I think Pharo, too) can handle various Bitmap 
formats, including BMP, JPG, and PNG. 
  For its own stuff such as UI, Code browsers and similar,
Both use ‘Form’s. 

So, you probably want to have a look at classes
from the ImageReadWriter hierarchy:

	ImageReadWriter
		BMPReadWriter 
		GIFReadWriter
			AnimatedGIFReadWriter
		JPEGReadWriter
		JPEGReadWriter2
		PCXReadWriter 
		PNGReadWriter 
		PNMReadWriter 
		XBMReadWriter

or the class
	
	Form

and its relatives.
Note that both can be used together and converted into each other.
