What is it?

BLP Laboratory (short name is "BLP Lab") is the application for viewing and converting BLP (Warcraft texture) files.

Current version is 0.3.0 build 307. You can download it > HERE <

Features:

• Works with BMP, JPG, TGA, PNG, BLP (can open BLP2);
• Can do batch conversion between formats specified above;
• Can add/remove alpha channel when saving;
• Shows detailed information about BLP;
• Contains special saving methods, which will make BLP files smaller;
• Allows to view alpha mask and alpha channel.

What I'm planning to do:

• BLP comments
• BLP optimization
• Image browser (thumbnails or something similar)
• Full TGA support (color maps, black & white)
• Automatic quality choice
• DDS support
