Guavacado was developed primarily as a tool for creating icons in the .ico format. Over the course of Guavacado's development it was decided that batch exporting of images of various scales and bit depths might also be quite useful so this feature was added.

Guavacado can import one or more images in the png, bmp or jpg format. Once loaded into Guavacado these images can be scaled to multiple different resolutions, either preserving the initial aspect ratio or not, and converted to multiple different bit depths. Once the desired variety of scales and bit depths has been achieved you can export the entire project into a single icon, .ico, file or batch export the project as multiple png, jpg or bmp images.

For me the most desireable feature was the ability to import a single image and then duplicate that image multiple times so that same image could be exported at multiple resolutions and bit depths to a single icon or several png, jpg or bmp images.

Guavacado aims to simplify the process of creating multiple scales of the same image for various applications. Rather than opening your image or images in your favorite image editor, scaling, exporting, scaling, exporting, scaling and exporting now you can just open those images in Guavacado, duplicate, enter your scales and/or bit depths and export.
