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.

AVIF

The AVIF image format is an advanced image codec derived from AV1, offering superior compression and visual quality compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. Ideal for web use, AVIF supports transparency and HDR, making it perfect for both graphics and photography. With a smaller file size and high fidelity, AVIF enhances load times without sacrificing image clarity, optimizing websites for performance and user experience.
