Format Details
PPM
PPM (Portable Pixmap) is part of the Netpbm format family and stores full-color RGB images in a simple, uncompressed plain-text or binary format. It is the most straightforward way to represent raw color pixel data and is widely used in academic research, computer vision experiments, and cross-platform image processing pipelines. In plain-text form, PPM files are human-readable, which makes debugging image data trivial.
ICO
ICO is the Windows icon file format used to display icons for applications, files, folders, and shortcuts in the operating system. It can contain multiple image sizes and color depths within a single file, ensuring icons look sharp at different display scales and DPI settings. ICO files are also used as website favicons — the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars.
