TGA

The TGA file format, or Targa, is a raster graphics format widely used for storing image data, particularly in video game development and 3D rendering. Known for its ability to preserve image quality with lossless compression, TGA supports a variety of color depths and alpha channels. Its versatility and support for transparency make it an essential format for high-quality graphics work.

PNM

PNM (Portable Any Map) is a versatile file format for storing and manipulating images. It supports grayscale, black and white, and color images, making it ideal for various applications in graphics processing. PNM files are easily readable and widely supported by image editing software, offering a simple yet effective way to handle image data without loss of quality.
