- Description
- The RPNM file format, standing for "Portable Image," is a variant of the PNM file format used for storing images. It is designed to be a simple, yet flexible format that can accommodate various types of image data, including grayscale, black and white, and color. RPNM files can be easily transferred between different platforms and software applications due to their simplicity and portability. They are often used in applications and situations where minimal processing and compatibility across different systems are crucial.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
