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.| File extension | .svg |

Format description
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files contain images, described with two-dimensional vectors. The vector instructions are written in a text format similar to XML. SVG files are widely used on the web, because they are efficient for icons and logos: there is no pixelation and the file sizes are very small. Vector image formats like SVG work on an entirely different principle from raster images, such as PNG and JPEG, which generally store information for each pixel separately.Common questions about converting PPM to SVG
