This tool allows you to convert SMBX graphics from its masked form to new PNG images with transparency. This can make sprite creation simpler, SMBX graphics compatible with Wohlstand's editor/The VSMBX editor, and whatever else you can come up with a use for. Just enter the directory your SMBX graphics are stored in with the "Graphics Settings" box, make sure your settings are correct, and hit start to convert!
Screenshot:
System Requirements:
* Windows XP or higher
* .NET Framework 4.0 or 4.5
* Administrator privileges for output locations that require them.

looks useful alright but I can't really test it because I don't need to use it... but don't worry it will be the converter I will use if I ever need it!

Holy jesus. Probably another one of the best tools ever made. How long do you made this tool?

He-he, you was made
GIFs2PNG.NET
http://engine.wohlnet.ru/wiki/index.php ... _Converter
But here I write my comparison:
GIFs2PNG
- Console tool (There is able to use the special GUI shell which in the PGE Editor [Menu Tools -> External tools -> Convert masked GIFs into PNG])
+Able to drag&drop source picture(s) into application (drag&drop "open by" model) to convert them into unmasked PNG
+Able to drag&drop source directory to convert any contained GIFs in them (without looking of subdirectories)
+Possible convert all images of whole episode (tool can walk in subdirectories)
+Don't need for any frameworks like .NET and can be runned on almost any PC's
+Don't need for administrator rights
+Included with PGE Editor installation
-To enable subdirectory looking you need execute tool by command line with special parameter, it is not user-friendly for someone
(GIFs2PNG -W C:\SMBX\worlds\EpisodePath)
-Size of static build of executable file is 10 MB (dynamic build will have size ~300 Kb, but you should have Qt5 runtime libraries (~40 MB of DLL's) )
-Lazily made graphics should be fixed before starts of conversion
UnMasker
- GUI based tool
+User friendly
+Tiny size of application file (30 KB)
+Lazily made graphics converting correctly with low risk of buggy result
-Need for .NET framework (~40-120 MB size)
-You can't drag&drop images into application file to convert them. You should to define a path to the folder
-Strict naming of source images (you can't convert any images like "piano.gif"+"pianom.gif" without renaming, for example, into "block-x.gif"+"block-xm.gif")
-Can't look in subdirectories.
