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.
JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used lossy image compression format in the world, designed for compressing natural photographic images. It achieves high compression ratios by discarding visual detail that the human eye is less sensitive to, typically reducing file sizes by 10× or more. JPEG is universally supported across every device and application, and remains the standard format for digital photography and web images.
