About formats

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages, originally conceived by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1991 and later standardized by the W3C and WHATWG. HTML structures content using a system of nested tags that define headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, forms, and multimedia elements, with CSS handling visual presentation and JavaScript adding interactivity. The language has evolved through major versions — HTML 2.0 (1995), HTML 4.01 (1999), XHTML 1.0 (2000), and the current HTML Living Standard (evolved from HTML5, published 2014) — each expanding semantic vocabulary and capabilities. HTML documents are plain text files interpretable by any web browser, and the language's role extends beyond websites: email formatting, ebook content (EPUB), application interfaces (Electron, Cordova), and document export all rely on HTML. One advantage is universal rendering — every computing device with a browser displays HTML content, making it the most widely supported document format in existence. The semantic markup model provides another strength: elements like <article>, <nav>, <aside>, and <figure> carry meaning that benefits accessibility tools, search engine indexing, and content reuse. The open, W3C/WHATWG-governed specification ensures vendor independence, and HTML's text-based nature means documents are trivially created, inspected, and processed with any programming language.
Initial release: 1993
PALM is a bitmap image format used by the Palm OS operating system, introduced in 1996 with the original Palm Pilot 1000. Palm bitmap files store raster images in formats optimized for the extremely constrained hardware of early Palm handheld devices — the original models featured a 160x160 pixel monochrome (2-shade) display, 128 KB of RAM, and a 16 MHz Motorola 68328 processor. The format evolved through several versions as Palm hardware improved: PalmOS 1.0 supported 1-bit monochrome, later versions added 2-bit (4 shade grayscale), 4-bit (16 shade), 8-bit (256 color), and eventually 16-bit (65536 color) direct color modes. Palm bitmaps use a simple header specifying width, height, row bytes, flags, and bit depth, followed by the pixel data which may use optional Scanline compression (a PackBits-like run-length encoding) or dense packing. The format also supports bitmap families — multiple versions of the same image at different bit depths bundled together, allowing the OS to select the best version for the current device's display capabilities. One advantage is the format's documentation of early mobile computing: Palm OS was the dominant handheld platform of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and Palm bitmap files from applications, games, and content of that era represent important artifacts of mobile computing history. The multi-depth bitmap family feature provides another notable design strength — a single resource could serve devices ranging from monochrome Palm Pilots to the 16-bit color Sony CLIE and Palm Tungsten. PALM bitmaps are supported by ImageMagick, pilot-link utilities, and Palm emulator tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why turn a web page into PALM format?

PALM is a Palm OS bitmap format — useful for creating web page previews compatible with Palm device applications and emulators.

Can I convert a web page by pasting a URL?

Yes — enter any public web address and Convertio renders the page, then converts it to a PALM bitmap automatically.

What opens PALM bitmap images?

Palm OS emulators and various retro computing tools display this bitmap format. Several image editors also support PALM output.

Is PALM a limited format?

PALM supports basic color and grayscale at small resolutions — it was designed for the display constraints of Palm OS devices.

Does converting a web page to PALM cost anything?

No — the conversion is free on Convertio. Premium plans provide batch processing and higher limits for power users.

Are my uploaded pages secure?

Absolutely — uploaded pages are removed after conversion, and PALM output images are deleted from servers within 24 hours.
