# PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
The ``PNG`` file format is a commonly used lossless compressed image file format, which has largely taken over for ``GIF`` in use for general web graphics.

The ``PPM`` file is an 80s era extremely simple file format that supports RGB values in ASCII or binary format. ``PFM`` is an extension of this format for floating-point RGB values. This format does not support compression or alpha channels, and it's primary utility is for loading some academic-provided image data.
These formats are not generally useful enough to be put into the DirectXTex library, but [[texconv]] supports them for interop with these academic repositories.
