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.

PGM

The Portable Gray Map (PGM) format is a simple, portable image file that represents grayscale images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, suitable for easy manipulation and conversion. PGM files store pixel intensity values in plain text or binary, ensuring broad compatibility across various platforms and applications. Ideal for graphic designers and developers looking for a straightforward approach to grayscale image processing.
