Description PPM is a simple, largely uncompressed bitmap image format often used in graphics research, rendering pipelines, and developer tools. Files can be very large but preserve raw pixel information in a human-readable or binary structure. JPG is a widely used compressed image format based on lossy JPEG encoding. It significantly reduces file size while keeping acceptable visual quality, making it ideal for the web, documents, photo sharing, and general distribution.
