- 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.
- A PS file is an image saved in the PostScript page description language. It may contain vector graphics, raster graphics, and text. PS files can be printed directly by a PostScript printer (i.e., containing a Raster Image Processor) without being opened in an application.
