The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file format is part of the Netpbm pack, together with two other formats: PPM (Portable Pixelmap) and PGM (Portable Graymap). The three formats are sometimes referred to under the collective name PNM (Portable Anymap) and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion processes supported by Portable Bitmap Utilities — a collection of open source software. The PBM format is associated with monochrome bitmaps, while PGM contains gray-scale bitmaps and PPM color bitmaps.
