Format description
PPM is a Portable Pixel Map image file with support for 24-bit colors. The format is rarely used for non-temporary storage of large images, because PPM does not use compression. This makes it less efficient when compared to other bitmap image formats, such as BMP.Common questions about PPM conversions
