For example, we can encode my [snake executable](https://github.com/donno2048/snake) to a greyscale PNG image (the version used in this demo is very outdated):

```sh

wget https://github.com/donno2048/snake/releases/download/v16/snake.com

exe2png -e -H 15 -f snake.com -o snakeL.png

```

and get this:

![greyscale image](https://github.com/donno2048/exe2png/raw/master/snakeL.png)

and we can decode the image back to a file:

```sh

exe2png -d -f snakeL.png -o snake.com

```

or we can encode a color image:

```sh

exe2png -e -c -H 9 -f snake.com -o snakeRGB.png

```

and get this:

![color image](https://github.com/donno2048/exe2png/raw/master/snakeRGB.png)

and we can decode the image back to a file:

```sh

exe2png -d -c -f snakeRGB.png -o snake.com

```

Here is python itself encoded into a PNG image:
