when I last used Youtube for watch design I got the error message mention in a previous thread(you even replied)...

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of how to use your own images(or indeed any) with https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/editor/wa ... ditor/?bip or what format etc... all this would be very useful and would have THOUGHT be fully explained somewhere on this forum to help avoid these questions.

After all isn't that part of the reason for this forum???

In the constructor there is a button "HELP" there describes the initial process.
Everything else, this is like confident driving comes with experience.

It doesn't say a thing about file sizes, types, colour depth etc.... it about as much use as a chocolate tea pot...

"Help files" are suppposed to be there to offer help with all relevant information.

Let's start.
1) Download the program AmazfitBipTools and unpack it in any folder.
2) Download any favorite WF
3) Unpack it, for this we transfer the .bin file from WF to the WatchFace.exe program, just take a bin file with the mouse and transfer it to the program
4) After this, the folder will be created (where the bin file is located and with the same name)
5) File 000.png is the main substrate, it has the size of 176 by 176 pixels (1 pixel is 1 point)
6) Now go to the online editor, click the 1st button and select all the png files in the folder (unpacked .bin), then click the 2nd button and select .json all from the same folder
7) Now go to the Edit folder, here we see the code and blocks.
Amazfit bip only supports these colors.
Black 0x000000
Blue 0x0000FF
Green 0x00FF00
Red 0xFF0000
Blue 0x00FFFF
Purple 0xFF00FF
Yellow 0xFFFF00

easiest way is to open both 0000 and you wallpaper image by paint, select your wallpaper and press ctrl+c then go to 0000 paint and ctrl+v
