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.

Silicon Graphics Image (.sgi)

The Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) file format, developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1995, is a raster graphics format designed for high-quality color images. It supports 8 to 32 bits per pixel, three primary color channels, and an optional alpha channel for transparency. The format employs run-length encoding (RLE) compression to minimize file sizes. Initially utilized on Silicon Graphics workstations, the SGI format remains compatible with modern image viewers and editors.
