G3N to PPM Conversion: FAQ
What are G3N files?
G3N files contain digitally archived documents that were sent or received using Imaging Fax, a currently obsolete application that allowed computers equipped with modems to communicate with independent fax machines. Such images are stored using Group 3 compression, which provides an optimal minimisation of file size through a line-by-line compression of text and helps effectively compress white space. Group 3 compression was superseded by Group 4, providing a lossless compression of black-and-white images. G3N files are now considered uncommon.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
