What is MAP ?

MAP is ImageMagick's colormap format: a palette of colours followed by one index per pixel that says which palette entry to draw. The file has no header, so the image width and height are not stored in it. It is an output format for indexed-colour work such as embedded displays, retro graphics and custom image pipelines.

Why Convert MAP files?

Palette-based hardware and tools do not want a PNG or a JPEG; they want the colours and the pixel indices laid out plainly. MAP is exactly that — ImageMagick's colormap format, a palette followed by one index per pixel — which makes it a practical bridge into embedded displays, retro graphics and custom image pipelines.

The image is reduced to a limited palette on the way, so simple graphics convert cleanly while photographs and gradients can show banding. MAP files store no header, so keep a note of the width and height: whatever reads the file back has to be told the dimensions.
