The idea behind converting a .jpg into a .wav lies in the fact that the color for each pixel of a jpeg is represented by a 24 bit number. Much like web colors, each component of a pixel (Red, Green, and Blue) is stored with 8 bits, and has a maximum value of 255 (2^8=256).

By using these three 8 bit colors together to create one 24 bit number, we can create a 24 bit audio sample with each pixel. Since we need 44,100 samples for each second of audio, most of the .wav files you'll create will be pretty short, unless you use a particularly large image. In the example to follow, a 296w x 219h image is converted into approximately 1 second of audio.

To use this utility, all you have to do is click 'open', select the .jpg file that you would like to convert into a .wav file, and then click the 'process' button The program will then ask you to supply a file name for the .wav file. It will take a little while to process the image, so sit tight...and you'll get a .wav file in a little bit

Img2Wav application was designed to be a simple JPEG to WAV converter.
