- Description
- The PNM (Portable Any Map Image) file format is a subset of the broader Netpbm format, designed for storing various types of digital images. It acts as an umbrella term for three specific types of grayscale, color, and black-and-white images, represented by PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap) formats respectively. PNM files are known for their simplicity and ease of conversion to other image formats.
- The Free Lossless Image Format File (FLIF) is a digital image file format designed to provide high-quality lossless compression for images. Unlike lossy formats like JPEG, FLIF preserves all the original image data without any degradation, ensuring that images are compressed without sacrificing any detail or clarity. This makes FLIF an ideal choice for applications where image quality is paramount, such as digital archives, professional photography, and graphic design. FLIF also incorporates advanced features such as support for high dynamic range (HDR).
