The OTB (Over The Air Bitmap) file extension, developed by Nokia, is used for transmitting black and white bitmap images between mobile phones, particularly Nokia and Siemens models. These images, with a maximum resolution of 255x255 pixels, are often sent via SMS in either hexadecimal text or binary format. Historically, OTB files were popular in the early days of mobile communication for sending simple graphics, icons, and wallpapers when data transmission speeds were limited.
The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
