Convert screenshots or bitmaps (PALM) online for free
The converter easily converts your PALM images to various formats - free and online. No Samsung Gallery or other Raster Image software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Mobile Screenshot Image" formats to PALM without using software like Samsung Gallery or a similar tool.
The .palm file extension typically represents an Android screenshot image file generated by Samsung Electronics devices. When users capture the screen or copy an image to the clipboard on certain Galaxy smartphones or tablets, the operating system saves this temporary image data using this extension. A secondary, much rarer use is the legacy Palm OS Bitmap Image format, used by classic Palm PDAs to store basic raster graphics.
The main disadvantage of the modern .palm file is its proprietary nature. Because it acts as an internal system cache file for the Samsung clipboard, standard desktop image viewers on Windows or macOS cannot open it natively. Users cannot share these files directly on social media or open them in web browsers. Similarly, the legacy Palm OS bitmap is an obsolete, closed format that modern editing software completely ignores.
To make the image usable, you must convert the .palm file to a standard format like PNG, JPG, or WEBP. Converting to PNG is ideal because it preserves the exact screenshot pixel data without adding compression artifacts. Note that proprietary clipboard metadata, such as internal device tags, will be lost during conversion.
Because .palm is an undocumented system file or a highly obsolete legacy format, standard online converters often fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the hidden headers, and extract the image data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying image format wrapped inside, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your PALM file.
Users also converted DAT files.
If you want to convert PALM file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Samsung Gallery or similar software from the "Screenshot & Bitmap Image Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to PALM, try Samsung Gallery or another comparable tool in the "Screenshot & Bitmap Image Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PALM converter.
