Hey,
So for anyone looking to do this, Ofnuts's ImageMagick solution worked brilliantly.
The steps that worked for me:
- I downloaded the Windows version (I'm running Win10) of ImageMagick
- copied the *.png files that I wanted to convert into a separate folder
- opened a DOS Command Prompt window and navigated to the folder with the images in
- ran the following code (which creates a *.bat file in the same folder):
Code:
for %f in (*.png) do echo magick %f -depth 8 %f >>set_files_to_8_bit.bat
- run the set_files_to_8_bit.bat file.
- Files converted, job done.
