The PBM file format is a graphics file format whose purpose is to store black-and-white images that are typically used by applications to store simple icons.

The PBM format can store black and white image data in the form of '0's and '1's, and this data is stored in a compact and uncompressed binary format, making it easy to implement within their applications.

PBM files are a legacy file format that can be opened with certain image editing applications that still support this format; alternatively, we have a set of PBM image conversion tools designed to convert PBM files to other, more modern formats, such as PNG.

Extension	JPEG
Full Name	Joint Photographic Experts Group

Mime Type	image/jpeg

Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

A JPEG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.

The compression used by JPEG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colors that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this color data greatly reduces the size of the final JPEG file with no discernible loss in quality.

Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPEG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPEG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
