Convert CR3 to PPM

The CR3 file extension, short for Canon Raw 3, is a digital image file format used by select Canon digital cameras, such as the EOS M50 and EOS R, to store uncompressed or compressed RAW image data. Introduced in 2018, it replaced the older CR2 format and is based on the ISO Base Media File Format, supporting both lossless and lossy compression. CR3 files retain high image quality and detail, making them ideal for professional photo editing in software like Canon Digital Photo Professional and Adobe Lightroom.

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.
