If you've ever needed to batch convert a folder full of Illustrator or .eps files to a bitmap format such as PNG or JPG, you know the frustration of doing it manually (one at a time) with Illustrator's export function. You could set up a batch action in Photoshop, but that's almost more trouble than it's worth.

Pongo is a tiny application that does only one thing, convert vector-based Illustrator files to either PNG, JPG or SVG format, with a single click of a button. You simply drag your file(s) onto the Pongo Icon, and choose which format you want to save the files as.

Pongo actually uses Adobe Illustrator to do the work, so you will have to have Illustrator installed, but it does its job in the background.

Pongo requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, and is completely free - though donations are accepted.
