# Pixel Palette Format Converter

> Convert HEX, GIMP GPL and JASC-PAL palettes without changing color order. Paste a palette in HEX, GPL or JASC-PAL format, validate its colors, and download all three formats for pixel-art workflows. Keep duplicate colors and entry order across conversions.

Part of usefulweb.app (https://usefulweb.app/). Results are deterministic calculations from the inputs and the listed assumptions; the API returns exactly what the web page shows.

## Inputs
- text (textarea): Palette text (HEX, GIMP GPL or JASC-PAL)
- name (text): Palette name

## Method
- Accept 1–32 opaque RGB colors. HEX uses six-digit #RRGGBB values; GPL supports RGB rows and optional color names; JASC-PAL requires version 0100 and its declared count.
- Entry order and duplicates are preserved. Transparency is not stored in these text palettes; Pixel Studio reserves a separate transparent index. Binary PAL, ASE and ACO files are not supported.
