Meracl ImageMap Generator

Meracl ImageMap Generator is a small software application whose purpose is to help you generate map files from HTML or image files. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there. A photo map contains clickable areas that trigger certain events, such as accessing a certain webpage or executing JavaScript data.

You are welcomed by a well-structured suite of features. The imported photos can be previewed directly in the main window. An online help manual is available in case you need extra assistance with the configuration process.

Meracl ImageMap Generator offers you the possibility to import data from HTML files or JPG, GIF, or BMP file format. A few configuration settings are included in the package for helping you set up information regarding the name of the picture, reference link, alternate text, horizontal space, vertical space, alignment, thickness of the border, and usemap attribute.

What’s more, you are allowed to embed JavaScript data, configure frame target and alternate text, as well as insert several types of shapes (triangles, circles, squares). You may modify the color of the shapes by moving the built-in RGB sliders, and delete or duplicate shapes. The shapes are overlaid on the original picture in order to create the image map.

Preset hotkeys can be employed for acquiring faster results. Based on the aforementioned configuration settings, Meracl ImageMap Generator is able to generate the HTML code of the image map. Plus, you are allowed to copy the code to the clipboard so you can paste it into other third-party programs and export the HTML code to HTML file format.

Tests have pointed out that the application carries out a task quickly. It is not a resource hog so you do not a powerful computer in order to run it.

To sum things up, Meracl ImageMap Generator comes packed with several handy features for helping you design image maps, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
