How do I convert a TIFF file to PPM using this tool?

Upload your TIFF file, leave the output format set to PPM, and click Convert. For batch conversions, use the 'Add Multiple' option. The resulting PPM file will be uncompressed and contains raw pixel data, so it may be larger than the original TIFF.

Why should I convert TIFF to PPM instead of keeping TIFF?

PPM is a minimal, uncompressed format used in image processing and computer graphics, particularly in Unix-like systems. Converting TIFF to PPM strips metadata and compression, leaving raw pixel data that can be easily piped into tools like Netpbm, ImageMagick, or custom scripts. This is useful for algorithms that require exact pixel access.

What happens to TIFF layers, metadata, and color profiles when converting to PPM?

PPM does not support layers, metadata, or ICC profiles. The conversion flattens the image and discards all ancillary data, but preserves resolution and bit depth (up to 16 bits per channel if your TIFF uses that). Alpha channels are not saved because PPM lacks an alpha band; use PAM if you need transparency.
