Convert SFW to PPM
Convert SFW images to PPM format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The SFW file extension stands for Seattle FilmWorks Image, a proprietary bitmap image format created by Seattle FilmWorks, a company specializing in film processing and digital imaging. Although the company is now defunct, SFW files can still be viewed using specific software or converted to standard formats like JPEG. This format is not widely supported by modern image editing software.
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.
