STC to PPM Conversion: FAQ
What are STC files?
An STC file contains image data related to the top solder mask of a printed circuit board (PCB), and it is typically created using Eagle — a specialized piece of software for the PCB industry. STC is part of a larger group of extensions called Gerber, which is used as a standard in this industry. Other formats included in the group are SOL, CMP and DRD.
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.
