I used this utility lot back in the day, but it hadn't been updated in 2 years. So I updated it to support the latest requirements of WP7/WP8/WinRT marketplace apps.

Rated 4 Stars (out of 5) - It is definitely a good application in my book. There are few things which I would feel to have. 1. Crop tool should be much more user friendly like any image editing software. 2. Inclusion of background removal tool would be great; 90% of app developers want a transparent background. 3. Application should be signed with a trusted certificate.

geekybits has uploaded a patch.

Description:
wrapped icons in a white grid, so that the produced image wont have transparent background for the marketplace icons.

New Post: Does it work with Transparency?

Yes, this works with transparency from image file. But on using Copy & Paste this works without transparency as described limitation.

Thanks,

Does it work with Transparency in source images? I would like to have a feature there to generate transparent app images but same images with selected color background for marketplace, that will be really cool :) Thanks
