T-PoT (Image Processing App)

Stands for "To Power of Two" :D

It uses gdiplus to convert images to different formats. Unless you are not on Windows XP or newer the gdiplus.dll is already present on your system.

There are already tons of utilities that convert images (that are probably better and faster) but I wanted something easy to use and with specific features, all bundled in a small app.
The most notable (and somehow 3D Arcade related) feature is to convert to a power of 2 resolution. This greatly increase the shockwave engine performance as it doesn't need to do the conversion itself.

With it you can do:
- Simple format conversion, keeping the original size.
- Power of 2 conversion with the options to either, dismiss the aspect ratio (the image will fill the entire selected square size), or keep the AR and fill the extra space (horizontal or vertical bands) with either black, white or nothing.

Note that it's not lightning fast, gdiplus doesn't use any video card based acceleration and most importantly, my code isn't the fastest of all... (mainly because there are checks in place to detect if the dropped items are files, folders and if they are actually valid.)

Sources are included in the archive if you know exactly what files you're feeding the app and want to make it faster and whatnot.

You need AutoHotkey_L (link) and the gdi+ library (link) to run/compile the ahk (source) version.

Cheers.
