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.
JPEG
JPG is the most common file extension for the JPEG image format, which uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining visually acceptable quality. Every digital camera, smartphone, and web browser supports JPG natively, making it the dominant format for sharing photographs worldwide. Its excellent balance between file size and image quality has kept it the most-used image format for decades.
