Bmp2Tab (Bitmap to Html table convertor for Windows) is a tiny tool to convert a bitmap file to a HTML table (every cell is a pixel). These scalable images cannot be saved as an image. It is compatible with IE, Opera and Netscape.

I agree that this little app is completely useless, but it has a high prank value. Since resulting html file can be nicely compressed with 7zip (e.g. 4MB->10kB), one can create sfx 7zip installer that unpacks and opens that html in browser, and since everything hangs when opening table so big, poor victim can only wait for it to completely load and watch some idiotic picture in the meantime.
More interesting program is one I found long time ago that creates ascii art from picture, with colors and html formating, but the resulting html file is still quite big. Unfortunately, I cannot recall it's name.
This is an excellent idea. My college site won't allow images in html as it deletes them all. Everyone is amazed that I can create images in my postings--lots of ooohs and ahhhs.
This works best with relatively small images. Large images take to long or crashed my browser.
Not an excellent but a curious idea i think...
To Ernesto: How is this an excellent idea?
To Name Blank: I agree, I can't see how this is useful.
Disallowing right click/save image with javascript is just as effective (ineffective). If someone wants an image there are so many workarounds. Large watermarks are the only good deterrent I know of.
Excellent programme. Small, fast and efficient, and futhermore, it an excellent idea.
Thanks a lot.
Lol, really funny tool, but an image takes minutes to load :P
Is this program really useful? How can you "protect" an image that is being displayed on your screen? A simple PrtScreen defeats all theses sophisticated protection mechanisms...
This program is useless for protecting images. But it's great for when you can't use images. HTML only web hosting services, for example.
