About the PAM format
PAM — Portable Arbitrary Map
PAM is an extended Netpbm format that generalizes PBM/PGM/PPM to support arbitrary numbers of channels and depths. It can store RGBA (color with transparency), CMYK, or any custom multi-channel image, making it the most capable member of the Netpbm family.
Common uses
- RGBA image storage with transparency
- Multi-channel scientific image data
- Flexible image pipeline interchange
- Extending Netpbm workflows to alpha and CMYK
About the PNM format
PNM — Portable Anymap
PNM is a generic designation for any of the Netpbm formats (PBM, PGM, PPM). Many tools accept or produce PNM files that can be any of these three types, auto-detected by the header. It serves as a universal plain-image interchange format.
Common uses
- Generic Netpbm image interchange
- Flexible input for image processing tools
- Command-line and scripting image workflows
- Converting images when type may vary
