Visual Encoding Studio
Encode text or files into pixel images with length and CRC headers, recover compatible PNGs, inspect image bit planes, and convert text to binary, hex, Base64, Morse or Braille.
01 · Encode text or file into a visual image
RVE1 grayscale bit image stores bytes in pixels with length and CRC-32 header.
02 · Decode a visual payload
Recover RVE1 images made by the monochrome mode. Lossy recompression, scaling or cropping will corrupt the payload.
03 · Text representation tools
Convert between UTF-8, binary, hexadecimal, Base64, Morse and Braille.
04 · Bit-plane visualizer
Display one bit plane from an uploaded image's red channel.
05 · QR code lab: generate · damage · read
A from-scratch QR encoder (numeric / alphanumeric / byte, versions 1–10, levels L–H, automatic mask choice) and reader. Knock out modules or a centre logo and see Reed–Solomon repair the code. The reader uses the browser's barcode detector when present and its own decoder otherwise.
06 · EAN-13 / UPC-A / ISBN barcodes & check digits
Draws retail barcodes and calculates or validates check digits (EAN, UPC, ISBN-10/13, Luhn).
07 · Colour-grid codec (2–4 bits per cell)
Packs bytes into a grid of coloured cells with a calibration row, length and CRC-32. Decoding classifies cells against the calibration colours, so it tolerates lossy compression and colour shifts better than you would expect.
08 · Identicon & randomart
Turn any text or file hash into a recognisable picture, as used to compare keys and fingerprints at a glance (SHA-256).
Randomart appears here.
09 · Invisible text: zero-width, tag characters & whitespace
Hide a message inside ordinary-looking text three ways, reveal it, and audit any pasted text for invisible characters, bidirectional controls and look-alike letters.
10 · Magic decoder
Paste anything encoded. Tries Base64/32/58/85, hex, binary, octal/decimal bytes, Morse, Braille, URL-encoding, ROT13/47, Caesar, Atbash and reversal, peels up to four layers and ranks the readable results.
11 · Image → 1-bit, ASCII & Braille art
Dithered monochrome bitmaps and text art from any picture.
Output appears here.
12 · Raw bytes from an image
Reads pixel values back as bytes: the reverse of the "byte grayscale" and "RGB packing" modes, and a quick look for files hidden in pixel data.
