Image converter(-ish)

Hello everyone! Today I made an image conversion program called conv.

No, this program will not convert CC images to PNG, JPEG or any other image format. I'm sorry if I have misled you.

The normal version of the program will convert a stand-alone 'paint' image to a file that will draw the image when run. Don't worry, there will be a backup of the original image in the root directory, called /.backup_<name>.

Image files other than those created by the standard paint program are not supported yet.

How to use:

Spoiler

conv <file>

To restore the original image from a backup:

conv <file> -r

Download:

Spoiler

pastebin get vVi4Hspj conv

pastebin.com/vVi4Hspj

Changes:

Spoiler

Normal version:
1.0 - wrote the entire program

Special edition:
1.0 - changed the normal version into a special edition; optimized/compacted the code.

Special edition (suggested by ElvishJerricco):

Spoiler

How to use:

conv <input> <output>

Download:

As always, if you encounter any errors or if there are things you would like to have in the program, be sure to tell me.

Oh I see, so it convert the image to a program which prints the image, nice idea and looks easy to use. Next thing would be nft support I guess.

rather than having the .backup file, I feel it makes more sense for the user to specify both the input and output file like most command line programs. conv [in] [out]

I'm on it. Now I have to figure out how .nft files are stored.

pastebin get CRvRbntW conv_special

It's even shorter than the regular version.
