Qubes Image Converter

Qubes Image Converter is a Qubes OS application that uses DisposableVMs and Qubes' flexible qrexec (inter-VM communication) infrastructure to securely convert untrusted image into a safe-to-view image.

This is done by using a DisposableVM to parse the image into a very simple representation (RGBA) that (presumably) leaves no room for malicious code. This representation is then sent back to the client qube which then constructs an entirely new image out of the received bitmaps.

Usage

[user@domU ~]$ qvm-convert-img src.png dest.png
