ficonv

A tool to convert files into images representing the file's bytes.

Features

The Tool is currently supporting the following features:

• Convert a File to an Image
• Convert that image back into a file

Why would you need this?

Why wouldn't you?

Here is a converted version of my ageGUI:

(It's too big for Github)

How does it work?

The program takes chunks of 4 bytes from the original file to represent 1 pixel (r,g,b,a).
This way the resulting image is always about the same size as the original file.

Installation

If you want to compile the program yourself:
git clone https://github.com/Yukaru-san/ficonv
cd ficonv
go build

You can also head over to the release tab and download a precompiled version.

Usage

A tool to parse files as an image and vice versa

                 --help-man).
  -t, --trim     Trims trailing NULL bytes. Useful for txt files, can damage
                 other types. Only used together with "reverse"
  -r, --reverse  Reverses an image to a file. By default the given file will be
                 converted to an image.
