PPM to IFF Conversion: FAQ
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.
What are IFF files?
IFF is an old image format associated with Amiga computers — a brand connected to Commodore, which used to be popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Commodore was one of the first types of personal computers to gain wide popularity among home users. An IFF file most likely contains an image that was created or edited using an image handling program on an Amiga computer. IFF files are currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so opening them with regular image viewers might be difficult.
