How do I convert PPM to RAW?

Upload your PPM image to the converter, choose 'RAW' from the target format dropdown, and click 'Convert'. After processing, download the RAW file. The tool discards the PPM header and writes the raw pixel bytes in sequence. You can also configure endianness and bit depth in advanced settings to match your pipeline.

Why convert PPM to RAW instead of using PPM directly?

Many custom imaging applications, camera SDKs, and processing pipelines expect a headerless raw byte array. Converting PPM to RAW removes the 15-20 byte header, allowing you to feed the data directly into memory buffers, GPU textures, or embedded systems. It also simplifies file storage when you only need pixel data.

Does the conversion preserve everything from the original PPM?

Yes, the pixel data is copied pixel-for-pixel without loss. The RAW output contains only the RGB color values, so metadata like comments or the PPM header itself are not carried over. Since both PPM and RAW are uncompressed formats, you will not lose image quality, but the RAW file is typically smaller because it omits the header.
