Convert PES to PPM

The PES file extension stands for "Brother PE Embroidery Format", developed by Brother Industries for their embroidery machines. PES files contain detailed instructions for stitching patterns, including design information, colors, and machine commands like "stop", "jump", and "trim". Initially exclusive to Brother machines, the format's utility led to its broader adoption in the embroidery industry. PES files are primarily created using Brother's PE-Design software and are compatible with various home embroidery machines, including Babylock and Bernina.

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.
