PXL

pxl is a command-line tool for converting files to pxl images. In some cases this can save some bytes when transfering the data or just retuns a spacy image.

Usage

encoding:

./pxl -e example/xellio.jpg

-->

decoding:

./pxl -d xellio.jpg.pxl

-->

More usefull example

Assume we have a ~20MB-logfile like this:

for i in {1..100000}
do
	echo '127.0.0.1 - - [20/Aug/2017:13:08:24 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 189 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/60.0.3112.78 Chrome/60.0.3112.78 Safari/537.36"' >> ./logfile.log
done

Running

./pxl -e logfile.log

will create a ~100KB file, containing all the information from logfile.log

Better than any other compression?

No, probably not - But it looks good

Warning

Encoding too lage files can freeze your computer (depending on your hardware)
