This tool allows you to make custom TPL image files from the most common image file formats (PNG (also allows transparent PNG images), JPG, JPEG and BMP) for make them usable in most Wii stuff such Virtual Console and WiiWare.
It allows you to make custom VCPic.tpl (Banner Image for VC), IconVCPic.tpl (Channel Icon for VC), simple non-animated banner.tpl (save data icon) file for Flash WiiWare iNJECTS, and custom cursors for replace Wii Remote's cursor inside cursor.arc file in Flash WiiWare iNJECTS, also to let you choose the quality for your resulting TPL files like RGBA8 (High Quality with Alpha), RGB565 (Moderate Quality) and RGB5A3 (Low Quality with Alpha).
Special thanks to @Leathl (for the Wii.cs Tools' TplMii tool), @XFlak (for giving me a idea about command-line usage of Wii.cs Tools but I found more info about it xD), Pierre-E Gougelet from xnSoft (for the NConvert / xnConvert command-line tool for resizing images), and also to @mrt84 and @Zorg1996 for the help and also for pushing me to make this tool.
