Convert PPM to EPI

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.

The EPI file extension stands for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange, a format developed by Adobe in the late 1980s. It facilitates the integration of vector graphics and text into documents for high-resolution printing. EPI files, a variant of EPS, are primarily used in graphic design and desktop publishing to ensure consistent and scalable image quality. This format employs Adobe's PostScript language to describe the appearance of a single page, making it ideal for embedding illustrations in various documents.
