Here are a few links for you to try...
1. Picture Convert to Hex release 1.02 (EvilGhozt)
Make you own pictures with one and zero numbers (pretty cool) and upload on your homepage as a *.htm file.

2. Picture Convert to Hex II (NEW) beta 1.1 (EvilGhozt)
Same as Picture Convert to Hex but this one got new functions like Color ignore, own background message
and it can take pictures up to 300x300 pix.

3. Convert a binary file into a hex file. Just drag and drop your binary file (e.g. .gif image) into this application and a hex version of the file will be written into the same directory. Works with multiple files.

Hi I am Baas,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried Picture Convert to Hex II (by Ultimate Codes 32) and Hex Converter (by Connection Software): The latter is the perfect answer to the 1st of my 2 questions.
Any idea how to address the 2nd part of my query (i.e. covert a raw hex file and make an image out of it)?
Tnx

Maybe it is worth while mentioning that I do not need to convert a string of text into an image (for example to minimize the risk that a conventionally written email address could be picked up by web crawlers and used for junk mail).
Bottom line: I have a hex string and I need to covert it into an image.
Actually it would be sufficient if I could just preview the image contained in the hex string
Anybody?

Swiss File Knife has both functions. It's a
command line tool, however.
Convert a picture (or any file) into a hex string:
Code: Select all
sfk hexdump -nofile -pure picture.gif > picture.txt
Convert the hex string back into picture:
Code: Select all
sfk filter picture.txt +hextobin picture.gif
Hope this helps.

Yes SYSTEM,
Absolutely fine... Especially after the additional details you provided I was able to take care of both issues using Swiss File Knife in combination with 2 batch files... THANKS again
Unless anybody else has a regular NON-command line tool to suggest I would consider this thread closed...
Happy weekend to everybody
