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.

TIFF

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile graphic file format renowned for its ability to store high-quality images. Commonly used in photography, publishing, and scanning, TIFF supports multiple layers and channels, making it ideal for professional use. Its lossless compression ensures pristine image quality, providing a reliable choice for archiving, printing, and versatile editing applications.
