BMP

BMP (Bitmap Image File) is a raster graphics image file format known for its simple structure and high-quality images. It supports various color depths and is widely used in digital imaging. BMP files are uncompressed, ensuring excellent quality but larger file sizes. Ideal for applications requiring detailed visuals, BMP is a staple in the graphic design and photography industries.

PPM

The Portable Pixmap Format (PPM) is a simple and widely-used image file format that stores pixel data in a human-readable format. Ideal for basic graphics applications, PPM files support RGB color encoding and are versatile for both software developers and graphic designers. Despite larger file sizes compared to compressed formats, PPM's simplicity makes it a preferred choice for image manipulation and teaching digital imaging concepts.
