The file is smaller, but the color information is more difficult to read by humans. The header remains in ASCII and the arguments are still separated by a whitespace. The binary image information comes after the header (which ends with a whitespace). </p><p>In the binary format, last headerline must be like "255\n", with data immediately following it; any comment added after 255 will be taken as the start of image data, and the image will be skewed to the right (at least when opened by the image-manipulation program GIMP (December 2022)). </p><p>The PPM format is not compressed, and thus requires more space and bandwidth than a compressed format would. For example, the above 192×128 PNG (<a href="/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Network Graphics">Portable Network Graphics</a>) image has a file size of 166 bytes. When converted to a 192×128 PPM image, the file size is 73,848 bytes. Filesize reduction factor 100 or so when converting to png is typical if the image is a line drawing; if the image is a photo, it is best converted to jpeg, which yields a greater filesize reduction. </p><p>The PPM format is generally an intermediate format used for image work before converting to a more efficient format, for example the PNG format, without any loss of information in the intermediate step. </p><p> The image shown above using only <b>0</b> or the maximal value for the <b>r</b>ed-<b>g</b>reen-<b>b</b>lue channels can be also encoded as:</p><pre>P3 # The same image with width 3 and height 2, # using 0 or 1 per color (red, green, blue) 3 2 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 </pre><p> White space including line ends and comment lines is syntactically equivalent to a single space within the PNM headers.

Using higher bit depths encounters the problem of having to decide on the <a href="/wiki/Endianness" title="Endianness">endianness</a> of the file.

At the time, there was no standard, reliable way to send binary files in email, and attempting to send anything other than 7-bit <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ASCII</a> in email often resulted in <a href="/wiki/Data_corruption" title="Data corruption">data corruption</a>. PBM was designed to allow images to be sent via email without being corrupted. Poskanzer released the forerunner of Netpbm, called <b>Pbmplus</b> in 1988. By the end of 1988, Poskanzer had developed the PGM (greyscale) and PPM (color) formats and released them with Pbmplus. </p><p>The last release of Pbmplus was on December 10, 1991. Poskanzer never released any further updates, and in 1993, Netpbm was developed to replace it. At first, it was nothing more than a renamed release of Pbmplus, but updates continued to occur until 1995 when the package again became abandoned. In 1999, the Netpbm package was picked up by its present maintainer, Bryan Henderson. </p><p>In 2000, PAM was added to the file formats of the Netpbm library allowing an alpha channel.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The name Netpbm came from the program developers collaborating over the <a href="/wiki/Internet" title="Internet">Internet</a>, which was notable at the time; the <a href="/wiki/NetBSD" title="NetBSD">NetBSD</a> operating system and <a href="/wiki/NetHack" title="NetHack">NetHack</a> game got their names similarly.
