Image formats in Sygic software

Sygic software uses 2 types of images - low-quality 8-bit BMP files with limited transparency, or
32-bit BMP images, with full color and full transparency.


8-bit BMP files

Similar format as GIF - also uses palette, consisting of 256 colors.

Recomended for usage without transparency, or only for simple 1-bit transparency

32-bit BMP files

Similar format as PNG - full color, with full 8-bit transparency channel.

NOTE: 32bit per pixel consists of: 8bit - RED | 8bit - GREEN | 8bit - BLUE | 8bit - ALPHA

How to convert PNG files to 32-bit BMP in Adobe Photoshop

    or run Batch job (File -> Automate -> Batch)
