Resource Page Description
This resource includes tools that help create WIC-compliant codecs and WIC-enabled applications. With these tools, ISVs will be able create codecs that are registered in Windows and will be automatically recognized by WIC-enabled applications.


The Windows 7 version, including Windows Vista with the Platform Update for Windows Vista, includes the following tools:

  • WICExplorer - An application which utilizes the WIC API to load still images and outputs the images and its metadata.
  • WICCop - An application used to test WIC-compliant CODECs.
  • wincodec_proxy.h - A header file that defines the proxy functions within the windowscodec.dll.

The Windows Vista, pre Platform Update for Windows Vista, includes the following tools:
  • AITCODEC - An example of a WIC-enabled custom image codec.
  • WICExplorer - An application which utilizes the WIC API to load still images and outputs the images and its metadata.
  • WICGrinder - An application used to test WIC-compliant CODECs.

For more information about the Platform Update for Windows Vista, see Knowledge Base article about the Platform Update for Windows Vista (KB 971644)

Nice tool, but it could use a bit of maintenance...

Requires Windows Template Library to build (would be nice to mention that in the include of atlapp.h)
Gives warnings because of the use of the deprecated /Wp64
Has a precomp.hpp file but doesn't actually use precompiled headers, leading to horrible build times
Has safer CRT warnings -- needs to disable them or fix them
Has LTCG enable for the compiler but not the linker, leading to release-configuration warnings

These issues should have been cleaned up for Windows 7, IMHO
