RGBO to PAL conversion is the process of transforming raster image files in the RGBO color/encoding format into the PAL format, which is commonly used for color-indexed images and certain broadcast-friendly palettes. This conversion reinterprets pixel channels and palette information so the resulting PAL file preserves color fidelity and display compatibility for systems or applications that require PAL-formatted images.

PAL files use the MIME type image/pal and are commonly employed to store palette information for indexed images. Codecs for RGBO are specialized and less common, whereas PAL is widely supported by various image processing and video editing software.
