A PFM (Portable Float Map) file is an image file used to store bitmap images in a simple binary format. The high precision of the data stored within these files has made them an ideal format where image quality is the most important requirement.
Image pixel data is represented using floating point numbers rather than plain byte range numbers found in most other image formats, making PFM files unique among other formats available at the time.

The ZIP file is one of the most common types of compressed file types available and is widely used to compress any file type and give great compression results, leading to smaller file sizes. ZIP files were originally released in 1989, and over time, the format has undergone many revisions.
ZIP archives can contain any number of folders and files and can use many different compression algorithms to perform the file compression, though DEFLATE is the most common one in use. The format has built-in support in many operating systems, including Mac OS and Microsoft Windows.
Yes! Our PFM tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 PFM files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the ZIP files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your PFM file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the PFM to ZIP conversion has completed, you can download your ZIP file straight away.
We aim to process all PFM to ZIP conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the PFM file you submit to us. The resulting ZIP file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your PFM file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted ZIP file quickly.
Yes! Our PFM to ZIP tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our PFM conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your PFM to ZIP, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
