Change Format Feature
The Change Format feature helps users convert images into different pixel formats based on their requirements.
This feature is useful for:
- Optimizing image quality

Pixtel supports multiple pixel format conversion options including:
- 1-bpp (Black-white)

What is bpp?
bpp stands for Bits Per Pixel. It defines how much color information is stored for each pixel in the image.
- Lower bpp values reduce file size
- Higher bpp values improve image quality and color depth
For example:
- 1-bpp converts the image into black and white format
- 24-bpp RGB provides standard high-quality color representation
- 32-bpp ARGB supports transparency using an alpha channel
This flexibility allows users to choose the appropriate format depending on their use case.
