Actual Maprelay iPhone screen showing the original tile study packed into RGBA and four channel assignments

From source maps to a usable file.

Route deliberately

Choose source red, green, blue or alpha for every output channel. Set a byte constant or invert with 255 minus the sample. ORM, RMA and HDRP mask recipes use source order, with every assignment visible.

Inspect the result

View packed RGB or each isolated channel. Read exact bytes at a top-left pixel coordinate. Optional nearest resampling is explicit; default dimensions must match.

Keep the workflow

Retain twelve local packs with eight originals each. Duplicate a pack and keep eight named mapping presets for repeated handoffs.

Real outputs, ready for handoff.

Write a packed RGBA8 PNG, four grayscale masks, a two-page PDF proof, CSV assignments with original SHA256 hashes, recipe JSON, readme and a ZIP of the nine derived files. Use native sharing and PDF Quick Look. Retained originals can be shared individually; the ZIP excludes them. Recipe JSON is documentation, not an importable backup.

Know the format before buying.

Non-interlaced 8-bit gray, RGB, gray-alpha and RGBA PNG.
1–2048 pixels per side. Up to 32 MB per source.
No palette, low-bit, 16-bit, tRNS, APNG, JPEG, TIFF or EXR support.
Output preserves RGB beneath zero alpha. No gamma/ICC conversion.

RGB preview ignores alpha. This is numeric 2D channel packing, not a shaded 3D preview, baking, atlas maker or normal-map generator. Color-profile and descriptive chunks are not copied. Set non-color or linear import options in your destination software and verify its channel convention. Game-engine and physical-device compatibility has not been tested. Maprelay is independent of engine vendors.

Store images show an original synthetic tile study. The installed library starts empty; the study is an explicit option.
