PDN to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are PDN files?
PDN is the native file format used by Paint.NET, a popular free image and photo editing software for Windows. A PDN file stores the entire project data for an image, including layers, layer properties, transparency, blending modes, text, and editing history. Unlike standard image formats like JPEG or PNG, which flatten an image into a single layer, PDN files preserve all editable elements, making them ideal for ongoing design work or complex image editing tasks.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
