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.
TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality raster image format widely used in professional photography, desktop publishing, scanning, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple color spaces (RGB, CMYK, LAB), multi-page documents, and can embed multiple images within a single file. TIFF is the standard format for scanned documents, medical imaging, and any workflow that demands the highest possible image fidelity.
