Project ''OpenImageIO'' started as ''ImageIO'' - an [[API]] that was part of [[Gelato (software)|Gelato]], the [[renderer]] software developed by [[nVidia]]. Work on ''ImageIO'' started in 2002. In the same year specification of the API and its header files were released under BSD license. In 2007, when project Gelato was stopped, the development of ''ImageIO'' also ceased. After this Larry Gritz started a new project - ''OpenImageIO''.

In April 2009 ''OpenImageIO'' has been accepted into the [[Google Summer of Code]] program with four student slots.

September 2009 marks the release of ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'', the first full-length [[feature film]] in whose production ''OpenImageIO'' has been used as the [[texture mapping|texturing]] engine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lists.openimageio.org/pipermail/oiio-dev-openimageio.org/2009-September/001721.html |title=Oiio-dev mailing list: 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...' |accessdate=2009-09-18 |last=Larry Gritz |coauthors= |date=2009-09-18 |work= |publisher=}}</ref>
