About the PDB format
PDB — Palm Database ImageViewer
PDB is the Palm OS database format adapted for image storage by the ImageViewer application on Palm handhelds. PDB image files store compressed images for display on Palm PDA screens and are encountered when recovering photos from Palm Pilot and Treo devices.
Common uses
- Recovering Palm PDA ImageViewer photo libraries
- Converting legacy Palm handheld images
- Historical Palm device photo archiving
- Palm OS application development assets
About the XZ format
XZ — XZ Compressed File
XZ is a single-file compression format using the LZMA2 algorithm, which provides some of the best compression ratios available for general-purpose single-file compression. It is the default format for many Linux distribution packages and kernel releases. While compression is slow, decompression is surprisingly fast, making it ideal for distributable archives.
Common uses
- Linux kernel and software release compression
- Arch Linux package format (.pkg.tar.xz)
- Maximum compression of source code and text
- Firmware and embedded image distribution
