Download GIMP Open image Image menu → Mode → Indexed… In the window that appears (“Indexed Color Conversion”), choose “Use black and white (1-bit) palette,” then hit OK. ---

Np… When you save it make sure you choose the BMP or a extension that supports 1 bit color maps. If you save it as the default JPEG it will convert it to greyscale. ---

If you wanna do something like this you need to select use custom palate and pick the two colors you want (orange and white) to have the image only show up in two colors. ---
