- Description
- The RPGM file format, short for Portable Greyscale Map, is a type of image file that specifically stores greyscale graphics or images. It is designed to represent images in various shades of gray, ranging from black to white, without any color information. This file format is typically used in applications or environments where color is not necessary or desired, such as certain types of scientific imaging, document scanning, or specific graphic design projects. RPGM files are part of the Netpbm format collection, which also includes formats for black-and-white and color images.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
