-Images can be prepared with any photo editing program, such as *[[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]]*. The images must be the size of a tile (8x8 pixels) or a multiple of a single tile (i.e. 32x24 pixel, 64x64 pixel, and so on). Although the program can read many graphic formats, the most accurate results are obtained by using two highly contrasted colors (black / white) and saving using the PNG format at RGB (24 bit)+Images can be prepared with any photo editing program, such as [[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]].

 +From release 1.14 of the program it is possible to generate multicolor tiles with the ''-m'' option. In this case, what matters is no longer the brightness of each single pixel but the color, intended as RGB. In particular, the option allows you to manage images that have up to 4 colors.
