About PPM
What is PPM (Portable Pixmap)?
PPM is a simple, plain-text raster image format from the Netpbm family. Rarely used for end delivery but handy as an intermediate format in image-processing pipelines.
Context
When to use PPM.
PPM is part of the image conversion surface in Converterer. These pages are useful when you need to balance compatibility, compression, transparency, quality, or workflow-specific image requirements.
Limitations
Very large file sizes; no compression, no transparency, no metadata.
