ImagHex

ImagHex is a simple tool for encoding files into graphical representations of their bytes and vice versa.
The graphical representation is a PNG image where each pixel represents 4 bytes of the file.

• Decode PNG images back into files
• Support all input file types (the output is always a PNG image) and sizes (limited by available memory)

Usage
