Image Converter

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

Image Converter

#1 Post by AyrA »

Image Converter: a simple Image Converter, i've written in 30 Minutes
1. Just put all Images wich you like to Convert into a Folder. You can mix the Formats together, the Programm will take all images from the Folder
2. (now in the Program) Select this Folder
3. Select the Output Folder (must exist)
4. Select the Output Format
5. Click the Convert Button

Formats: BMP EMF EXIF GIF ICO JPG PNG TIF WMF
Features of the Portable Version: Does not write into registry or File System.
What it can't do:
- Editing Images
- Changing Sizes
- Converting Simgle Images (except you have only one Image in a Folder)
- Only Convert a specific Type of Image. (It will really take all Images)
- Can't Convert Pixel Graphics (PNG, BMP, ...) to vector Graphics.

Tip: Run from a fast drive to increase converting Speed, due to the Fact, taht is uses the Application Folder as Cache.

Writes settings to: Wirtes no Settings
How to extract: No Extraction needed. single .exe
Stealth: Yes
License: Freeware (i'll make open Source, if requested)
Depends on: .NET Framework 2.0

I would like to know what you mean by converter?

Do you mean it converts all images to a uniform format?
Quick, someone, .NET!
Oh and by the way .net is not really up for submission yet, if ever, though you can post .net in freeware discussion.

Please visit the FAC here:http://www.portablefreeware.com/about.php

And to quote from that Fac
For EXE portability, my preference is not to list any Java or .NET app.

Yes.
Example: You can Put some PNG and BMP Files into one Folder and tell the Programm to convert all Pictures from that Folder to JPEG

All Input Formats are also supported as Output Formats.

.NET:Sorry for the .NET, but any Windows XP or newer not containing the .NET should go into the trash. .NET 3.5 is included in Vista and newer installation and on Windows XP it is an Update, so everybody "should" have the .NET 2.0 or newer if he has Updates enabled.
JAVA: JAVA can be made portable. Jou just have to put all Files into one folder and launch the jar.exe and as first parameter the .jar File.

.NET Framework portable would be something funny to make...
I think I look at this

LOL. By that rationale, this entire site should go in the trash.

Could you explain how to do this in greater detail?

I assume it is a case of copying the contents of the Java installation folder to your USB drive, and making a batch script (or other launcher) pointing to "jar.exe example.jar".

I don't have Java installed but it sounds like this is the case (replacing example.jar with your Java app).

As for portable .NET, I have found you can strip down Mono (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page) to just enough components to get certain .NET programs running. I was going to put a tutorial up but never got round to it.

I realize its taxing, but hope you give it a shot: .NET in a portable format would open us up to a whole library of portable software. Most especially the fantastic Paint.NET.

Head for http://www.dotgnu.org/pnet-packages.html#mswindows a portable .NET. It has an installer but maybe it can be extracted from it.

hi guys justinsmith here,

for converting any image without any software, just open the image with paint and then save as the image to your desire extension.
it is just one click away....

It's not that easy:
if you open a BMP and enter as File Name test.PNG when saving, it is still a BMP File. You must change the Filetype select Box in the Save Dialog as well.
