First download & install yourself a version of Irfanview, see link for download:

Open Irfanview &  load up the sprite you wish to convert ( note, if you still need to export the sprites, you can do this with either PCKview or BombBlokes tools, follow the links for more info).

Select IMAGE -> Palette ->Import Palette
.

Select the default pallets from your OXC directory, Note they are saved in the OXCE/Common/Palette folder. Note there is several version of pallets formats to use, i usually stick to  UFO-JASC.

Make sure your bringing in the correct palette for your file type, if your doing a battlescape item, you must use the Battlescape pallet, if Geoscape, use the Geoscape palette.

Your image should now have the correct palette and should be force back to 8-bit graphics, save the image out to your desired format ( like PNG) and your ready to code it into your mod.
