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.
GIFOUT
GIF is the old format that short looping animations never left. Each frame is limited to 256 colors, which keeps files small and flat artwork clean while photographs come out banded. Compression is lossless within that palette, and transparency is a simple on or off per pixel with no soft edges. Pick GIF when you want a moving image that plays in any browser, email client or chat window without a video player.
