Convert PNM to SIX
Convert PNM images to SIX format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The PNM (Portable Anymap) file extension, developed by Jef Poskanzer in the 1980s, stands for Portable Any Map. It is an uncompressed raster graphics format designed for portable image storage and exchange, encompassing three sub-formats: PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap). PNM files store image data in plain text or binary format, ensuring easy usage across different platforms and applications. This format is widely supported by various image editing software and is valued for its simplicity and lossless compression.
The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.
