UYVY to PALM Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert images to PALM bitmaps for retro PDA projects. If your files are still in UYVY format, this page is the shortcut: UYVY is packed 4:2:2 Y'CbCr — two pixels per four bytes, the native format of broadcast video capture cards and frame buffers.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

The UYVY 4:2:2 (raw) coder of the ImageMagick set — the video-hardware 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is this UYVY 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 UYVY to PALM?
No — PALM is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original UYVY file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Can I convert several UYVY 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.
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.
