- Description
- The PPMA file format, also known as Portable Bitmap, is a plain text format used for representing bitmap images. This format is a part of the Netpbm suite, which includes various formats for portable grayscale, color, and bitmap images. PPMA files specifically store color images using ASCII text to describe the width, height, maximum color value, and the pixel values in terms of red, green, and blue components. It is designed for simplicity and ease of transfer between different computer systems, though the ASCII representation makes it less efficient in terms of file size compared to binary image formats.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
