Convert PNM to SVGZ

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.

SVGZ, or Scalable Vector Graphics Compressed, is a file extension for compressed SVG files, utilizing the GZIP compression method. Introduced to optimize web performance, SVGZ retains the scalability and resolution independence of SVG while reducing file size, leading to faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage. This format is particularly valuable in web development, digital graphics, and applications requiring efficient transmission and rendering of vector graphics. SVGZ emerged as part of efforts to enhance web technologies, catering to the increasing demand for high-quality, scalable visuals in a more efficient manner.
