What is a PPM file?
PPM (Portable Pixmap) is a simple color image format storing RGB values in plain text or binary. It belongs to the Netpbm family and is often used in graphics programming and testing environments.
Its simplicity makes it ideal for learning and debugging, though file sizes are large due to lack of compression.
How to open PPM files
PPM files can be opened using GIMP, IrfanView, and Netpbm tools. ImageMagick also supports conversion to compressed image formats.
