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.
SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format maintained by the W3C as an open web standard. Unlike raster formats, SVG images are mathematically defined and scale infinitely without any quality loss, and can be styled and animated with CSS and JavaScript directly in browsers. SVG is the definitive format for logos, icons, illustrations, and data visualizations that must look crisp across every screen size and resolution.
