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.
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).

PostScript (PS) is a page description language created by Adobe that tells a printer exactly how to draw each page — the position of every character, line, and image — rather than storing the page as a picture. Because the description is resolution-independent, the same file prints crisply on a cheap office printer or a professional typesetter. PostScript revolutionised desktop publishing in the 1980s and is the direct ancestor of PDF.
The standard tool is Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter, usually paired with a viewer such as GSview or the built-in viewers on Linux.
On Linux, Evince and Okular open PS directly. macOS dropped native PostScript support after Mojave, so Ghostscript is needed there too. Since almost nothing outside printing workflows reads PS any more, converting it is usually the quickest solution — try our PS to PDF tool.
