Image To Fire Effect - ImgFire FX

ImgFire FX (Image-To-Fire-Effect) is an image utility to add fire effects to your images easily.

Just like this:

The fire effect added will transform your still image into an animated GIF with some options like
- color palette or gradient,
- smoke density (having an impact on how quick the fire will spread),
- sparks or particles addition
... and the first frames of the animation are merged with the last frames, to loop even more smoothly!

Hot conversion examples

3% of spark particles. Option: -ap3

5% of spark particles, 35 frames. Option: -ap5 -repeat35

Different Fire spread models: based on colors VS based on contours
-mode0 (based on overall color) VS -mode1 (based on contours)

Mode 0 (based on colors) usually works best with texts or high contrast images.

With icy blue colors. Option: -ice

With different density of “smoke”, option: -smoke60 or -smoke20 or -smoke0

Fire effects on person pictures

Glitch image progressing

Option: "fading" -an0 -ap0
or "fading" + palette rotation / color cycling -an0 -cycle
or "normal" + green Copper Sulfate palette -p5
or heavy glitch, palette overrun -over -mode0

How to convert images and add fire effects

It’s a command-line tool which makes it possible to process your images in batch, using a batch file for example.

For example, type:     ImgFile "D:\My folder\MyPhoto.jpg"
You will get the resulting GIF file in the same folder, or in a dedicated folder if you prefer.

ImgFire supports JPG, PNG, BMP, PCX, LBM, TGA image formats.
