PALM to DCX Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
PALM is the Palm Pilot bitmap format — 1/2/4/8-bit paletted images from the original PDA ecosystem. Convert images to DCX for legacy fax/document archives.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

Frequently asked questions
Is this PALM to DCX 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 PALM to DCX?
No — DCX is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original PALM file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to DCX?
Transparency is kept whenever DCX 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 PALM 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.
