File format information for PGM and JPEG

Extension	PGM
Full Name	Portable graymap format

Format	Binary

The PGM file format is a graphics file format used to store grayscale images in either a text or binary format. The text format, also known as P2, enables easy manual editing of the image data due to it being stored in a human-readable format.

The format stores the monochrome image data using a range of values between 0 and 255, thus giving 256 shades of gray that can be used by the image. Color is not supported by the PGM format.

PGM 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 PGM image conversion tools designed to convert PGM files to other, more modern formats, such as PNG.

Extension	JPEG
Full Name	Joint Photographic Experts Group
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/jpeg
Format	Binary
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.
