PALM to PAL conversion is the process of transforming image files stored in the PALM format — a legacy raster graphic container historically used on Palm OS devices and some imaging tools — into the PAL format, which is an indexed color palette image format commonly used for graphics that rely on a separate palette definition. This conversion maps pixel indices and palette data from the PALM file to the PAL file structure so the image displays correctly in applications that expect a PAL palette-based file.
