The .ps filename extension refers to files authored using the open postscript programming language. The postscript format was developed and first released by Adobe Systems in 1982. It is a dynamically typed object oriented page description language format with graphics primitives that make it appropriate for use in desktop publication workflows. The postscript format quickly became the default language driving high resolution laser printers used by prepress service bureaus because it is well suited to describing page layouts with great precision. Several applications both proprietary and open source can allow you to open postscript files, others such as PDF creator or Adobe distiller will convert the postscript file into a PDF file for viewing. Postscript file editing can also be done with simple text editors given the standard character set used in the language.
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.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PS to PPM conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload PS files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PPM results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PPM audio with dependable progress tracking.
Postscript files are typically human readable files written in plain text. The ASCII or UTF-8 character encoding are the character sets used to form postscript files. Most postscript files can render directly on printer spoolers, and often begin with '%!' so that the printer postscript interpreter interprets the file as a postscript file rather than a plain text file.
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.
