Both formats, briefly
ICOIN
ICO is the Windows icon container, and it is still what browsers look for at favicon.ico. A single file holds the same artwork at several sizes, commonly 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels, so the system picks the right one for a browser tab, a taskbar or a desktop shortcut instead of scaling something badly. Build one when you are adding a favicon to a site or an icon to a Windows application.
PPMOUT
PPM is deliberately plain: a short text header followed by raw RGB values, with no compression and no structure to parse. That is what you want when you are writing image code yourself or piping frames between command line tools, because reading and writing it takes a few lines. It belongs to the Netpbm family, next to PGM for grayscale and PBM for pure black and white. The files are enormous, so convert before sending one anywhere.
