So I got this tool as a part of the pico-8 premium bundle, and I deeply want to use it, but I use mac and can't, is there any way to use it on here?

Hello,
There is no version dedicated to Mac or Linux, sorry.
However, as a workaround:
- On Linux you can use wine to run it (Shortround here below in the comments tested on it worked fine)
- On Mac, I don't know if there are similar tools or virtual machine to do the same trick.

I'm not very technologically advanced, nor do I remember well what I do know about making pico-8 carts, but can't you export to any platform you want, and if you can't, can't you just get the plain cartridge?

When you create something on Pico-8, yes, you can export as ".p8" cartridge, or export to Windows/Linux/Mac executable, or even to a HTML5 page playable in browser.

However Image-To-Pico8 Converter is not a Pico-8 cartridge. It's written in C++/Allegro (and not in Lua) and it can be run only on Windows.

So no, i can't.
