PaintCode is Mac utility that helps developers include vector graphics into their applications. This program converts vector images into source code so that you can then use it to render when your application runs.
The utility can generate code in Objective-C, C#, Swift, Java, HTML+CSS, Javascript, etc. Its output configurations list is quite rich as it allows you to select the preferred canvas resolution, set a background image if necessary, rotate the imported vector images, include text content, and so much more.
PaintCode also gives you access to multiple geometrical shapes which you can include in your project. They can be found on the main toolbar of the application. Furthermore, you can choose the preferred operating system version after selecting the output programming language. For example, you can generate a code in Objective-C for macOS 10.12+.
The only bad aspect I have to say about this tool is that it supports a small amount of output formats when exporting projects as pictures. You can choose between the following formats: PNG, PDF, SVG, XML, and GIF.
Still, PaintCode is one of the best utilities for transforming images into code. It's effective, provides you with a ton of useful features, and offers you the quality output files you need within moments.
Pros
- Lets you choose between multiple output profiles
- Fast processing speed
- Offers you a wide range of customizations
Cons
- Supports a limited amount of output image formats
