Both formats, briefly
PPMIN
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.
BMPOUT
BMP writes pixels to disk almost exactly as they are, with no compression to undo. Files get large quickly, which is why you rarely meet one on a web page, but nothing is approximated and any Windows program can read it. It shows up in older Windows software, in scanner and screen capture output, and wherever a tool wants raw pixel data with no decoding step. Convert to PNG to keep the same quality in a fraction of the space.
