Convert your PGM file to JPG

Convert your PGM to JPG image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PGM (Portable graymap format) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple PGM image files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting PGM image files to JPG, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available by selecting the Options button. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single PGM file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The PGM file format is a bitmap image format used to store grayscale images in either a text or binary format. The text format, which is known as P2, enables easy manual editing of the image data due to it being stored in a human-readable format.

Greyscale data is stored within the file using values between 0 and 255; this gives 256 levels of gray, with 0 being black and 255 being white, and everything in between being a different shade of gray.

Description

The JPG file format is a popular image format most commonly used for the storage of digital photographs. The format implements a lossy-compression technology that allows for high levels of file compression with little perceptible loss of image quality, making it an ideal format for photographs.

This format is one of the most used on the internet today, with its small file sizes making it ideal for website images. Although there are newer image formats that may offer higher compression and quality, the JPG is still an ideal format for digital photos.
