Frequently Asked Questions
What is PBM format?
PBM (Portable Bitmap) is a simple 1-bit image format from the Netpbm family. Each pixel is either black or white, making it ideal for line art, text, and e-ink displays.
What is dithering?
Dithering creates the illusion of gradients using only black and white pixels. Floyd-Steinberg spreads quantization error to neighbors, while ordered dithering uses a fixed pattern.
ASCII vs Binary?
ASCII format is human-readable (you can open it in a text editor) but larger. Binary format is compact and faster to load but not human-readable.
