CIN to PALM Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
CIN (Cineon) is Kodak's 10-bit logarithmic film-scanner format — the ancestor of DPX, still circulating in film-restoration archives. Convert images to PALM bitmaps for retro PDA projects.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the CIN format
The Cineon coder of the ImageMagick set — the film-pipeline format is written natively by the magick.wasm engine, entirely in your browser.
Obscure coder formats like this are exactly what template-driven converters list and never actually convert — here it really works.
+Strengths
- ✓Written natively by ImageMagick
- ✓Runs entirely in your browser
- ✓Free, private, no watermarks
!Limitations
- −Niche format — few modern readers
- −Feature subset varies by coder
- −Keep the original for re-editing

Frequently asked questions
Is this CIN to PALM converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting CIN to PALM?
No — PALM is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original CIN file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to PALM?
Transparency is kept whenever PALM actually supports an alpha channel. If the target format has none (like JPG), transparent areas are flattened onto a white background — that is a property of the format, not of this tool.
Can I convert several CIN files at once?
Yes — drop as many files as you like into the tool and they are converted in one batch. When more than one file comes out, everything is bundled into a ZIP for a single download.
