I’ve been using the tool ZXPaintyOne to create ZX81 graphics. The tool creates a long string of numbers to represent the value of the characters painted on the screen.
I wrote zxpaintl.c to take the output of ZXPaintyOne and create a screen file (.scr) that could be directly loaded into the ZX81. I wrote zxpaint2.c to take the output of ZXPaintyOne and save it in a form to be used by zxtext2p. It converts the hex numbers to the ASCII characters that zxtext2p uses for graphics characters.
