Format Details
PGM
PGM (Portable Graymap) is part of the Netpbm family of portable image formats and stores grayscale images in either plain-text or binary form. It supports bit depths up to 65535 and is widely used in computer vision research, scientific imaging, and image processing pipelines. PGM files are simple to parse programmatically, making them popular in academic and research environments.
BMP
BMP (Bitmap) is one of the oldest raster image formats, developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. It stores pixel data in an uncompressed or minimally compressed form, resulting in large file sizes but perfect lossless quality. BMP is widely supported across Windows applications and is commonly used as an intermediate format in image processing workflows.
