If
someone is having trouble because they cannot copy the image to a 32GB
SD card, because there is a few bits less space on the card.I recommend the following:

The solution may be to first copy the image to a larger, for example 64GB uSD card (use balenaEtcher prg). You start the RPi with the 64 GB card, then copy it back to the 32 GB card with the SD Card Copier program. To the card you couldn't copy to because there wasn't enough space.This is the simplest solution. You don't need shrink, you don't need linux os.By the way, the sbitx_v2 image takes up about 9 GB of space.

Yes, I tried it and it works.

Could do that, but I'm reluctant to because I only have a couple of 64 GB cards and LOTS of 32 GB. The images really should be prepared the same way the official Raspberry Pi OS ones are; they're small to begin with (I think they'll still burn to an 8 GB card), then expand the file system to fill the card the first time you boot the system. At the very least we could get Ashhar to use a 32 GB card that is at the low end of the size range, rather than one that is at the very top...

Shirley,
Try burning to a 64 GB or larger card.? Most 32GB cards are just a little shy of the image size.? There are ways to make the standard image smaller; it has not been done to date.
