JPG

The JPG (or JPEG) image format is a widely used compressed file format for digital images. It supports 16 million colors and is ideal for photographs and graphics on the web. With its lossy compression, JPG balances quality and file size, making it perfect for web publishing and storage. Enhance your visual content with this versatile and efficient format, perfect for capturing high-quality images.

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.
