Why Convert PPM to WebP?
PPM (Portable Pixmap) is a raw, uncompressed image format from the Netpbm package — it stores RGB pixel data in plain text or binary with zero compression. PPM files are enormous. WebP delivers 25–35% smaller files than JPEG with both lossy and lossless modes.
Converting PPM to WebP dramatically reduces file size — ideal for web publishing where smaller images mean faster page loads and better SEO.
