PAL to RB conversion is the process of transforming an image file in the PAL format into the RB image format so it can be opened, edited, or viewed by applications that support RB. This conversion typically remaps color, metadata, and compression characteristics from PAL’s specifications to RB’s container and compression options while preserving visual fidelity as much as possible.

RB format, on the other hand, offers enhanced compression and better integration with modern platforms.
