⚠️ macOS Security Notice

Since this app is not code-signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS may show a security warning or "damaged" error. The app is safe - this is normal for unsigned apps.

For Intel Macs:
  1. Right-click the app and select "Open" (don't double-click)
  2. Click "Open" when the security dialog appears
  3. Or: Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Click "Open Anyway"

This is a common requirement for unsigned developer tools and open-source applications.

🐧 Linux Installation

The Linux version is distributed as a compressed archive containing a DEB package:

  1. Download: image-converter_0.1.7_linux.tar.gz
  2. Extract: tar -xzf image-converter_0.1.7_linux.tar.gz
  3. Install: sudo dpkg -i image-converter_0.1.7_amd64.deb
  4. Fix dependencies if needed: sudo apt-get install -f
  5. Launch from Applications menu or run image-converter in terminal

Why did I make this?

This application was developed out of a need to frequently convert png images to webp images for the web. I was frequently writing and modifying bash scripts to do this and was looking for a more streamlined aproach. I found BICU to be a useful tool and have made it available for anyone to use or modify as they see fit. The project is available on GitHub at Image-Converter and licensed under the MIT license.
