Convert PAM to OTB
Convert PAM images to OTB format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) file extension is a versatile bitmap format used primarily in UNIX-based systems. It extends the Portable Any Map (PNM) format, supporting 2-dimensional image data storage in a binary format with an ASCII header. Introduced to enhance flexibility and interoperability in image processing, PAM files are utilized for various graphical applications, offering a standardized method for handling diverse image types. This format's history traces back to the need for a more adaptable and comprehensive bitmap solution within the PNM family.
The OTB (Over The Air Bitmap) file extension, developed by Nokia, is used for transmitting black and white bitmap images between mobile phones, particularly Nokia and Siemens models. These images, with a maximum resolution of 255x255 pixels, are often sent via SMS in either hexadecimal text or binary format. Historically, OTB files were popular in the early days of mobile communication for sending simple graphics, icons, and wallpapers when data transmission speeds were limited.
