Give Sdl a shot. Loads just about anything with sdl_image.

If you're using freepascal, fcl-image has a png reader

sdl is good but since i am developping for windows , i don't like too much dll's around the exe , i'am using delphi7 .

Lode Vandevenne made a nice png loader from scratch http://members.gamedev.net/lode/projects/LodePNG/
i once tried to convert it to pascal but that seems not an easy task

in that case I differ to JSoft with fcl-image. Haven't used it extensively myself but have heard some good reports about it so perhaps that might be best suited. Especially if you want to avoid the dlls.

What about Vampyre Imaging Library? Is native and cross-platform :)
