- 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 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.
