- 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.
- Created by JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group), JBG is a lossless file format that contains both colored and monochrome images. Commonly used to compress fax images, and it has better compression than G3 and G4 compression codecs.
