Piczard can be extended by using Plugins.

A Plugin is a class that inherits from the abstract class Plugin and that can provide different kinds of new features such as localization to a certain language or support for a particular image format.

Each Plugin must be registered in the application configuration file before they can be used.
For more information please see: How To Register A Plugin

Currently there are 3 types of Plugins:

• Plugins that allow to localize / customize texts: IStaticLocalizationPlugin / IDynamicLocalizationPlugin
  Please see: Localizing And Customizing Texts
  
• Plugins that allow to expand / customize the loading and saving of image files (e.g. support a new image format): IImageArchiverPlugin
  
• Plugins that allow to enhance / customize image quantization: IImageQuantizerPlugin
