PNG-supporting Image-Conversion Applications
support as of version 5.7; commercial. (This is a utility to create web-based photo albums. The
output format is restricted to GIF or JPEG, however.)
● AutoImager [Mystik Media] (Win32) - all versions; read/write; transparency support;
commercial. (This is a batch conversion utility with image-manipulation capabilities. It includes a
small preview display showing the effects of a given operation, although it's not really a full
image viewer.)
● Batch It! Pro [AbleSoft] (Win32) - all versions; read/write; shareware. (PNG is also supported in
version 2.0(?) and later of Batch It!.)

Datatypes library) and Simon Clarke's PNGHandler (see the toolkits page); read/write; 191k.
(Not updated for current BeOS releases.)

interlacing support; simple transparency support as of version 1.60; alpha support as of version
1.62; requires libpng and zlib; freeware with C source. (This is a pair of command-line
converters between Windows BMP format and PNG. For the sake of search commands, we'll
mention bmptopng and pngtobmp, too.)

is also a LIGHT version.)
