Understanding the pnm and jpeg file formats

PNM (Portable Any Map) is a family of simple, uncompressed raster image formats, including PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap). These formats are widely used for image processing tasks due to their simplicity and ease of parsing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a popular compressed image format known for its efficient lossy compression, making it ideal for photographs and web images. JPEG files have the extension .jpg or .jpeg and are supported by virtually all image viewers and editors.
