PPM

Portable Pixmap Image File

The .ppm file extension is used for Portable PixMap format files and is intended to be an intermediate format that can be used in the development and conversion of other file formats. This format was specifically designed so that it could easily be exchanged between various platforms. It is very simple but not very storage efficient. Before the PPM format was introduced, Jef Poskanzer invented the PBM format in the year 1980 for transmission of monochrome bitmaps as ASCII text in email messages. He also developed a tool library for easy conversion of the PBM files to other graphical formats and vice versa. This library was called Pbmplus and was released in 1988. Later Poskanzer developed the PPM format along with the PGM format and the requisite tools that were added to Pbmplus.
PDB

Program Database

The .pdb filename extension refers to the program database file format authored by Microsoft. The format is used for storing debugging information about executable files and programming libraries or DLL files. The pdb format was designed to ease the debugging process of executables and program modules by decoupling the debugging information from the end of the program or class library itself to allow the integrated debugger and linker to access the pdb files directly. It doing so, the PDB format facilitates the stepping into/out of runtime libraries. The format and its internals remain the proprietary asset of Microsoft.

Trusted conversion quality

FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PPM to PDB conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.

Seamless workflow

Upload PPM files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PDB results on any device you rely on.

Batch support for teams

Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PDB audio with dependable progress tracking.

A .ppm extension file comprises of two parts which include the header and the image related data. The header, in turn, is distributed into three parts that are demarcated by line feeds. The first line comprises of the magical PPM identifier which can either be P3 for the ASCII version or P6 for the binary version, and the next line has the image's height and width displayed in ASCII characters and the last line indicates the maximum color value of the pixels. The image data formatting is dependent on the magical identifier, given in the first line of the header. Each pixel consists of 3 decimal values ranging from 0 to the specified maximum value written in ASCII characters. The 0 in the decimal values denotes that the color is not present or is turned off and the maximum value denotes that the color is at its maximum level. Conventionally the image data is stored in a left to right and top to bottom order with each pixel being stored as a byte. The usual RGB (Red ñ Green ñ Blue) order is followed to store the components.

Within windows, when an application is debugged using the Microsoft suite of debugging tools, the program database file or .pdb file is used to determine the current execution state and to locate symbols within the applications source code. Typically, the pdb file will contain global/local variables, function names and their point of entry, frame pointer omission records, and source line numbers.
