Convert PPM to JNG

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 JPEG Network Graphics (JNG) file extension is designed for storing JPEG-encoded image data within the PNG file format. Introduced as part of the MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) format, JNG was created to provide a flexible, high-quality image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression. It is particularly useful in applications requiring the integration of JPEG compression within a wider range of data types and multimedia elements. Though not widely adopted, JNG offers enhanced compatibility and versatility for complex imaging tasks in computer graphics and web development.
