From time to time I like to make small projects that are good for nothing. This weekend I have created a small project that I call “HTML image maker”.

Description

• It’s purpose is to take existing images and to generate HTML table where each pixel is replaced by a table cell.
• It is also possible to insert text inside the cells where the color of the cell is at the background of the text or in the foreground.
• If you won’t insert input image than the program will simply create a screen shot image instead.

Used technologies

• The image manipulation is done using java’s ImageIO object.
• The user interface was built using Apache Pivot.

Downloads

Instructions

• No need to install.
• To start the program execute Html image maker.bat.
• Optional – Insert input image path. If you won’t insert input image than the image will be generated from the screen shot.
• Insert an output path for the Html file.
• Optional – You can enter text to be inserted inside the image. Select foreground if you would like to color the text itself instead of the background.
• Press ‘Generate HTML image’.

Warning

• This software consumes a lot of memory. You should use it on not so big images.
