About PGM and JPG Formats
What is a PGM?
PGM stands for Portable Gray Map and is part of the Netpbm family of formats. It stores grayscale image data either as plain ASCII text or raw binary using values from 0 (black) to 255 (white). The format is intentionally minimal, making it ideal for research, computer vision, and basic graphics programming. However, PGM images are not compressed and are rarely supported by common image viewers or social media platforms. Their simplicity makes them useful for development, but not practical for general sharing or storage.
What is a JPG?
JPG (JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and it’s the most popular image format for photos, artwork, and online media. JPG compresses images using lossy compression, which reduces file size dramatically while maintaining good image quality. JPG files are readable across all platforms, browsers, and devices from mobile phones to desktop software and are the preferred format for uploading, emailing, and storing images online.
