PNM to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PNM files?
PNM (Portable Anymap) is a generic format for the Netpbm pack, consisting of intermediary files used in the conversion process by a collection of open source programs called Portable Bitmap Utilities. PNM is used as a generic name for the 3 file formats which are part of this pack: PBM (Portable Bitmap), PPM (Portable Pixelmap) and PGM (Portable Graymap).
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
