Convert PALM to MONO

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.

The MONO file extension stands for "Monochrome Bitmap" and is used for storing raw bi-level bitmap images, which are essentially black-and-white images without any color or grayscale. This format is primarily utilized in applications requiring simple, high-contrast images, such as fax transmissions and certain types of document scanning. The MONO format, characterized by its least-significant-byte first order, has been supported by various image processing tools. Its history traces back to early bitmap graphics needs, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in image storage and processing.
