Koala to Charset Converter wanted

I am looking for an idiot proof windows GUI tool to convert Amicapaint/Koala 4-color pictures to charset+screen (yes it's for me). I looked around existing tools a bit and was surprised to find not one that can do this. Any pointers?

as said, using pixcen is too errorprone. i couldnt figure out how to tell it what color becomes what either :)

meanwhile someone else mentioned PicChar V0.13, which looks almost perfect (but without preview and cant select what color becomes what) - so the search is still open :)

Maybe a browser based tool would be good for this, avoiding win-specific stuff? I searched around a bit and found a hires/mc editor, and a petscii tool but no char editor or converter yet.

+1 for Pixcen. You have amount of chars used in status bar at the bottom. To change color just RMB on it.

Again: Pixcen is not the solution. You have to know too much to use it properly for this task, and the error behaviour is misleading at best. Mentioning it once more does not change this.

Does it have to be for windows? Otherwise there's the

The Multi Drawer V1.1

For 64 of course ;-)

FWIW - I still use it occasionally after three decades since inception for exactly this type of tasks. And it minimises the charset usage, handles "charset overflow" errors, etc.
