Portable Pixmap (.ppm)

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.

AOLpress Raster Technology (.art)

The ART file extension, associated with PFS: 1st Publisher, stands for "AOLpress Raster Technology". Developed by America Online (AOL), this format was designed to optimize image download speeds over slow internet connections by employing high compression ratios. ART files store single, highly compressed images, allowing for incremental rendering similar to progressive JPEGs. While it was useful in the past, the ART format has largely been replaced by more modern image formats.
