C Array Converter

This tool converts image pixels into a C-style initializer suitable for embedding in firmware. It accepts common image formats and outputs a syntactically valid C array that can be pasted into source files or headers. Conceptually, the process reads the image, optionally quantizes color depth, and packs pixel data into 8, 16, or 32-bit units according to the selected format. Users benefit from a reproducible asset pipeline, eliminating manual conversion steps and reducing the risk of data misalignment in embedded memory. Core features include color depth selection (8/16/32-bit), optional alpha handling, channel ordering control, and line-wrapping for readable code. The tool also supports header generation and metadata emission to facilitate automated builds and asset tracking. Typical use cases include embedding icons, sprites, or textures into microcontroller firmware for displays, wearables, or IoT devices. The resulting array values are presented in hex literals (0xNN) with configurable line length to match project style. This tool provides a deterministic, exportable artifact that integrates with C/C++ toolchains without requiring external image dependencies at runtime.
