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

and get this:

and we can decode the image back to a file:

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

or we can encode a color image:

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

and get this:

and we can decode the image back to a file:

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