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.
PNGOUT
Use PNG when every pixel has to survive the save. Its compression throws nothing away, so text stays crisp, flat color stays flat, and a screenshot looks identical after ten round trips. PNG also carries a real alpha channel, which is why logos, icons and interface assets sit cleanly on any background. The trade-off is weight: a photograph stored as PNG runs several times larger than the same photo as JPG.
