Format Details
PBM
PBM (Portable Bitmap) is part of the Netpbm family of simple image formats designed for easy cross-platform transfer without compatibility issues. It stores monochrome black-and-white images in either plain-text or binary format with minimal overhead or proprietary encoding. PBM is widely used in Unix-like systems and forms the foundation of image processing pipelines and academic computer vision tooling.
AVIF
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers superior compression efficiency compared to JPEG and PNG, often reducing file sizes by 50% or more while maintaining excellent visual quality. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency, making it an ideal choice for the modern web.
