PPM does not support alpha transparency. Transparent BMP areas must be flattened onto a background color.
Converting BMP to PPM decodes the source image and writes a PPM output. Use this route when PPM is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on PPM compression: uncompressed.
Choose conversion targets based on PPM compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: limited headers, color profiles in newer variants.
Supported by ImageMagick, Netpbm, and technical imaging tools.
