Convert G4 to PALM

The G4 file extension, standing for CCITT Group 4 Fax Image, is a specialized format used primarily for storing black-and-white facsimile (fax) images. Its origins trace back to the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as the ITU-T, which developed the Group 4 standard in the 1980s to improve fax transmission efficiency over digital networks. This format employs a high compression ratio to reduce file size while maintaining image quality, making it ideal for archiving documents and transmitting faxes in professional and business environments.

The PALM file extension, standing for Palm Pixmap, is a bitmap image format used by Palm OS mobile devices. It stores logos, clipart, photos, and other images for display in Palm OS applications. Originating from the now-discontinued Palm OS, the PALM format evolved through several versions, with later iterations supporting transparency and run-length encoding compression. PALM files are compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, and can be opened and converted using tools.
