PDN to PPM 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 PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
