About PGM files
PGM (Portable GrayMap) is a file format for grayscale images that is widely used in computer vision and image processing applications. It is a binary image format, meaning that it stores only the values 0 and 1 for each pixel. The PGM file format is relatively simple and is supported by many image processing libraries and software packages. It is also a lossless format, meaning that no information is lost when the image is stored or transferred.
PGM files can be converted to other image formats, such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, using software such as IrfanView, XnView, and GIMP. However, it is important to note that conversion to other formats can result in a loss of image quality, as the PGM format is designed to store only black and white values. Additionally, some image processing operations, such as color correction, may not be possible with PGM files.
Due to the limitations of the PGM format, it is often preferable to convert PGM files to other formats for use in applications that require more flexibility. For this purpose, Convert.Guru provides a free and easy online tool for converting PGM files to other formats. This tool is designed to preserve the quality of the original image, and can be used to convert PGM files to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and other popular image formats.
The PGM Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PGM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
