Format Details
PNM
PNM (Portable Any Map) is an umbrella format encompassing the PBM (bitmap), PGM (graymap), and PPM (pixmap) Netpbm image formats. A PNM reader can automatically detect and decode monochrome, grayscale, or full-color images using the same code path. It is commonly used in Unix image processing pipelines and scientific computing environments due to its extreme simplicity and cross-platform portability.
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.
