First time I write about SplitRaster+ by Roudoudou even if it was first out in 2019... It's a line command utility for windows, linux and macos which converts PNG pictures for Amstrad CPC+ up to 1000 couleurs ! Yes you did read this number, but seriously usually it will be around 300-500 colors, by using rasters and Amstrad CPC+ hardware sprites.

You can download SplitRaster+ 2025 on Github. I let you check what it can do (extracted from CPCWiki) :

Incarnate the soul of recently deceased Jocob Still, inmate of Dauer psychiatric hospital on a small remote island. You must manage to leave the place within a maximum of 1 hour, overcoming all obstacles, always avoiding darkness, vermin, or any black object. You can only interact with the electricity, so you'll have to operate certain switches to make it easier for officials to open doors or turn on lights. On your way, the recovery of four wandering souls is required to provide you with the necessary strength to reach the sea and find the light.
