Format Details
PFM
PFM (Portable Float Map) extends the Netpbm format family to store floating-point pixel values instead of integer values, preserving full mathematical precision. It is commonly used in scientific imaging, computer graphics research, and HDR imaging workflows where precise floating-point luminance data must not be quantized. PFM files are larger than standard image formats but essential for downstream processing that requires exact numerical accuracy.
JPEG
JPG is the most common file extension for the JPEG image format, which uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining visually acceptable quality. Every digital camera, smartphone, and web browser supports JPG natively, making it the dominant format for sharing photographs worldwide. Its excellent balance between file size and image quality has kept it the most-used image format for decades.
