What is a PPM (Portable Pixmap Format) file?

Portable Pixmap Format (PPM) is an uncompressed, raster-based colour image format from the Netpbm family. A PPM file stores a plain header followed by RGB values for every pixel, either as readable ASCII text or as binary data. Because nothing is compressed or discarded, PPM is deliberately simple for programs to read and write, at the cost of very large file sizes.

How to open a PPM file?

Most operating systems do not open PPM by default. XnView MP and GIMP both read it, and on Windows IrfanView opens PPM as well.

PPM is mainly used as an intermediate format in image-processing pipelines rather than for storage or sharing. Because of its size, convert PPM to a compressed format before publishing it online — try our PPM to JPG converter. Related Netpbm types are PBM (bitmap), PGM (greyscale), and PNM (any of the three).

What is a PDF (Portable Document Format) file?

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.
