Convert PPM to SVGZ

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.

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.
