PPM Image Format

PPM Converter

The PPM colour image format is no longer widely used, but it was developed in the 1980s for Portable Pixmap. PPMs are raster image files, which are made up of pixels in a grid. PPM files can store 24-bit colour depth per pixel, as well as dimensions and white-space data. Many raster image formats like JPG, PNG or GIF use compression to make the file size smaller, but PPM files are not compressed, so they can have very large file sizes that make the file much harder to share. With internet use becoming more common, more compressed formats became more popular.

Although PPM is a relatively rare format nowadays, there are a lot of programs that still support PPM files. Programs that can open PPM images include LibreOffice, GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro, Canvas, Apple Preview and File Viewer for Android.

TIFF Image Format

TIFF Converter

A TIFF file, or "Tagged Image File Format" was originally developed by Aldus, who later merged with Adobe, in the 1980s. TIFF files can have either a .TIF or .TIFF file extension, but the underlying format is the same.

Originally developed with the aim of allowing users to save an image that could be opened on multiple platforms, the TIFF format supports both lossless and lossy compression. The format produces larger file sizes, which means the format is not well suited for image display on the Web, and tends to be used more for physical printing purposes.

Almost all programs can open TIFF files because TIFF files were so widely adopted back in the 1980s. Both the Photos app on Windows and Apple Preview on Mac OS are able to open TIFF files.
