- Description
- A PGM file is a grayscale image file saved in the portable gray map (PGM) format and encoded with one or two bytes (8 or 16 bits) per pixel. It contains header information and a grid of numbers that represent different shades of gray from black (0) to white (up to 65,536). PGM files are typically stored in ASCII text format, but also have a binary representation.
- It is a JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) creation that is based on 24-bit color pallette and uses a lossy compression algorithm for digital photography.
