Can't do 32 but if you don't mind using 15 year old tech Xv will convert
to 24 bit. Is that close enough for you ?
$ file x.bmp
x.bmp: PC bitmap, Windows 3.x format, 480 x 270 x 8
$ xv x.bmp
Right click to get the control panel, select 24 bit mode and save the file.
$ file y.bmp
y.bmp: PC bitmap, Windows 3.x format, 480 x 270 x 24
$ ls -l
total 528
