RLE only works with 256 colors (from what I've read). I tried ImageMagick's convert and it lead to the same result, no matter what compression I use (none or RLE). Both files are exactly the same size. (BMP -> "compressed" BMP). Stick with PNG whenever possible, it yields smaller files. – GiantTree – 2015-07-17T20:37:39.880

1@Steven: Tried both Gimp and ImageMagic. I could convert 32 bit .png into 32bit .bpm (without losing alpha channel). But I couldn't apply any compression if the image has alpha channel. – SridharKritha – 2015-07-19T16:15:41.973

In Gimp there is an option for to change the image into indexed mode. After that mode change you could apply RLE but you will lose the alpha channel. – SridharKritha – 2015-07-19T16:22:23.280
