Dynapik offers a free online tool to change image types - no need to download anything. It's quick and easy to use. You can change your PDB images to ICB format. This tool works for both professionals and casual users. Convert your images to ICB in seconds.
Palm Database
The generic database container for Palm OS.
PDB (Palm Database) is the standard file format for all data on Palm OS devices, from address books to e-books. In the context of images, a PDB file acts as a container for 'Palm Pixmap' images, typically storing them as a series of records. It was the only way to get data onto a Palm pilot.
A PDB file consists of a header (name, attributes, creation time) and a list of records. For images, these records contain the bitmap data (often compressed with RLE/PackBits). ImageMagick treats PDB files as a multi-image sequence if multiple bitmaps are stored in the records. The format is strictly structured to map directly to the device's RAM storage model.
Created by Palm Computing in 1996. It was designed to facilitate 'HotSync' between the handheld's RAM and the desktop PC. It became ubiquitous in the early 2000s PDA era.
Targa ICB
A legacy extension for Targa images created by Truevision ICB boards.
The ICB file extension is functionally identical to the standard TGA (Truevision Targa) format. It was specifically used to denote images created by or for the Truevision Image Capture Board (ICB). Like standard TGA files, it supports simpler raster data with optional RLE compression and alpha transparency.
An ICB file respects the TGA 2.0 specification. It contains a header defining image dimensions and pixel depth, followed by pixel data. The pixel data can be uncompressed or RLE-compressed. It supports bit depths of 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits. In 32-bit mode, 8 bits are dedicated to an alpha channel, which was a pioneering feature for video overlay graphics.
Truevision (now part of Avid) introduced the Targa video boards for IBM PC-compatibles in the 1980s. To distinguish files created by different hardware models, they used specific extensions: .tga (generic), .icb (Image Capture Board), .vda (Video Display Adapter), and .vst (Video Super TarGA). Modern software treats them all as standard TGA files.
